Sold!

You may have noticed in the past picture, we have a new front porch.  I wanted to wait until the papers were signed and now that they are, I can officially announce that we SOLD our house!  I wish I had more exciting news to add behind that declaration but we have moved in with my parent's until we find the right house for our family.  We had a farewell pizza party with some neighbors to say good-bye to the house (not our friends - who we hold close to our hearts!)

All the kids had was an empty room and their imaginations....so they ran around crazy! 

Hannah was trying very hard to run an organized sport!

Caleb really wanted a bite of Elizabeth's dessert!

The McMurray girls!

Hugs... 

and more hugs!

Saying goodbye to the house was harder than I anticipated.  When the moment came I kept thinking about this being our first house and where we started our family.  All the memories that were made inside those walls.... Elizabeth was starting to struggle too.  I had tears running down my checks as I was telling her "a family makes a home, not a house," but none of it was easy.  Grant and Brandon were our rocks and made it all a bit more light hearted by being so....so...well...dry eyed?!

We are all settled now and the house hunt is on and this is the fun part, so we are in a good spot.  Not to mention extremely lucky to have such gracious parents and loving grandparents as we work to establish boundaries!!

One chapter closed....a new one to begin!
