May & June at Our House

When I started this blog I really hoped to actually write and post things...but...I haven't really. One thing that is easy enough to quickly post about are all the sudden changes that have taken place.

In May, Makena turned 7!

Quick...blow out the candles! We have to keep packing BECAUSE....

We moved {the yard looks better, it's one of our projects}. This house is a blessing from the Lord! We love the neighborhood. We have the option to buy it. It's in the same town as our church. It puts us in an amazing school district {um...why does that matter, we homeschool. More on that later.}. It is a "love gift" or a gift that needs a lot of love. It's a fixer-upper! We have painted almost the whole house, all but one small room.

Here is a little, although not well photographed, picture of my living room (before/after).

In the middle of moving our girls had their very first recital. Avy surprised us all and actually danced {because at the two dress rehearsals she panicked on stage and cried}. I am still in awe of how wonderfully they all performed!

Then, the twins turned 4!!

{Yeah, they had donuts to celebrate...we were after all in the middle of unpacking, organizing, decorating, painting, and this was only 3 days post recital. I'm tired.} 

To finish off June our wonderful in-laws came to town.

And there was lots of swimming!!

The end! 

~Now on to JULY~
