Home Sweet Home

The kids and I flew out of Columbus on Wednesday, July 29th. Matt still had to work through the end of the month but the closing on our house was scheduled for the 30th, so the kids and I left early and I went to the closing solo. After the closing, I went to pick up at the kids at our good friends' house and take them to see the house (they hadn't seen it before). I was quite excited to show them their very own rooms and let them run around, but they were most interested in the park across the street from our house.

After a bit of coaxing and reassuring them that we could play at the park anytime, we walked in to our very own home for the first time.

Of course Mom and Dad's bathtub was much more appealing than their own!

Our stuff arrived the next morning and Matt got in that evening. So we were able to all spend our first night in our new home together as a family--amidst the mass of boxes! But in between trying to get everything unpacked, we managed to find time to also enjoy time as a family before Matt started work. And the park has been the #1 requested place to go---I am SO thankful that we are directly across the street from this huge park and our neighborhood is filled with great kids and great families.

I had to include this picture----Wyatt's reaction if he doesn't hit a perfect shot and Sadie's reaction (not bothered at all). We're working on teaching him that many things in life take practice but he struggles with not being able to do something correctly the first time he tries it.

We love our new home and new neighborhood. We couldn't have found a better place to be and we love visitors (hint, hint). We've already had several visitors and hope for more soon!
