New home, new city

So about three weeks ago we came to our new city (Itown) and searched for housing for 5 days.  After that time we found one and signed a year agreement and then hurried home to pack to move a week later.  We LOVE our new place and there are so many great things about it such as more room, walking distance to downtown, close to our friends, etc.  We are pretty much settled in now and just finishing up last minute touches.  We just got internet 2 days ago so we should be rolling now!

Here is a pic of the front of our new place on the day we signed the agreement...

This is our old home as we were packing things away...

First day of school 2015

Well it is here…the start of another homeschool year.  But this year, I have a 1st, 3rd and 5th grader!  I can't believe they are this big!!!!  I truly love homeschooling them although the first couple of weeks can be a little chaotic.  They all did AMAZING on the first day and even said, "That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!"  Ha…success!

Lucy's first day as a first grader...

 Karis first day as a FIFTH grader….

And Brayden's 1st day as a 3rd grader!

And on Lucy's first day of 1st grade, she sewed her first project!!!!!

Meteor shower

We attempted to stay up to see the Meteor shower that happened last night and I attempted to take pics. It was hard to manually focus so the pics are a little off but pretty nonetheless.  I am amazed at His handiwork!

Saying Goodbye and looking ahead

Saying goodbye isn't easy especially when saying goodbye to these sweet people.  This was the week before we left but the last time we would see our best friends because they were going out of town the next morning.  We will miss them so much!
