House Progress

Our new driveway and the basement floor were poured last week in between the rain!

Braces!

Sydney's teeth before. . .And after!
She needed to have these to pull her front two teeth together. It was amazing that by the next morning, there wasn't a space in between the two teeth! Unfortunately, she was also very sore for a day or two. Luckily, she's doing great just a week later!

May 3: Moving Day!

Before. . .and After!
After I (Julie) taught my final Business Writing class, we started moving out.
It took most of the day, and we were exhausted for the next week.
One last picture at our home.
This home has been such a blessing to us. We have cried many tears this past week because we have so many happy memories here. In a way, I'm glad that it was so difficult to leave. That means our ten years at 811 N. Florence have been very full. Thank you, Jesus, for blessing us with this home for ten years.

Now, we hope Adam and Becky (my brother and sis-in-law) are able to make just as many sweet memories in their new home! (Have I mentioned that they are the ones who bought it?)

Last Sweet Moments

Playing baseball has become one of our favorite pasttimes in our back yard.
Raegan, with her dirty face, swinging!
Tumbling down the slide.

Jackson is Six!

Present from Aunt Melli and Uncle Pat!
For the occasion, he dressed up as a pirate!
Pirate Birthday party at the YMCA!

Princess of the Box Castle!

This is what our house looked like the week or two before we moved.
Raegan liked the access she suddenly had to new parts of the house!

Lots of boxes!

Happy Graduation, Mom!

I'm so proud of my mom because she graduated from University of Phoenix with her BSN last month! We went to celebrate with a fun party at her house. Many of her friends/co-workers came to congratulate her. It was fun! (Katy took all the pictures, so I don't have any of her party!)

Here, she's playing checkers with Sydney and Raegan.
