New House

Well this is old news to some...new news to others. Kevin and I are going to be moving to a new house. We bought a HUD house about three blocks away from us...back in April. To make a long story short...it needed completely gutted...it was gross! This is a dream come true for Kevin and I. We have been wanting to do a project like this, with our friends for quite some time. There about 9 guys consistently at the house on Saturdays working on it. There are many features about the house that I am excited about. It has a two car garage, a basement with 8 foot ceilings (So I can have a real workout room), second floor laundry and an open floor plan on the first floor...not to mention the HUGE yard for the children to have room to run. Yep...I'm excited!
Michayla is done with preschool this wednesday. Crazy that a year of schooling has already gone by. I will have her in kindergarten and Elijah in preschool next year. I know these years will go quickly, but I want to cherish them. I want enjoy this summer with all three of them. Lots in store...
Michayla, Elijah and Caleb will be spending two weeks with their aunt Erica and uncle Aaron in June, while Kevin and I go to Germany! We are excited to take this trip with our house church. We will be leaving June 14 and returning June 23. It will be a long time without our children...and I already cry at times about that, but I know that this trip is going to be incredible for the two of us. The children will have so much fun playing and hanging out with their aunt and uncle (And of course grandma as well!)
