The day after we moved out of our old house we headed to Alabama for my 20 year reunion. Mimi kept the boys and lent us her Mustang convertible for the weekend. After the previous stressful few weeks, this was a much needed getaway and we enjoyed every minute of it!
When we picked up the boys on Sunday afternoon, they were sporting their new pool gear for the pool at our new house. I think they were a little excited!
Unfortunately, we had a 2 week hiatus before we could move in to the new house so we kept busy with other things while we waited. I had a laundry list of changes of address and other things to do to get ready for the next phase of our move but we tried to sprinkle in some fun for the boys. We went to story time at the library one morning and the boys had free reign to pick out books to keep them busy. As a result, I believe we came home with 32 books. We also spent some time at the neighborhood pool...
...and then a couple of days at the mall. As always their favorite was the carousel.
Then one hot afternoon we hung out at Chick-Fil-A getting ice cream and playing on the playground while Mommy worked on her list.
Then, finally it was time to move in to the new house! Ethan started camp at the Gwinnett Heritage and Environmental Center on moving day so that he could stay busy while we moved scheduled several contractors to do work in the house. It wasn't until the end of the week that we finally had the house to ourselves to actually clean, take the drop cloths off of the furniture, and start putting everything in place. It has been a slow process but I finally see light at the end of the tunnel. We are left with a few boxes that I need to deal with but it looks like our home now.
