Labor Day Weekend

We had a fabulous and relaxing Labor Day weekend just hanging out with our little family. The weather was absolutely perfect, so we spent most of it outside blowing bubbles in the backyard, swinging at the playground and hunting for ducks in the pond, flying to Neverland and searching for the moon.




And that was just Saturday! Jess and her family came in town so we spent Sunday with them, and Monday having a cookout, playing a hilarious round of water baseball followed by a slip-n-slide showdown. I lost miserably. But it was so incredibly perfect and the boys loved every minute the got to spend with their daddy!

Leaving the place I call home!

So much has happened over the past few months! If any of you have missed me, I'm sorry! I've had way to much going on lately to think about blogging. But hopefully I can keep it up better now. First things first, Jon got a new job and we will be moving to Washington D.C. (or in that vicinity) the begining of November. Still looking for places to live, so if anyone has any recommendations, pass it along!
Second, we sold our first home. :( It was on the market 2 months and we got an offer and closed in 2 weeks. Was all a little fast for me and I wasn't truely ready to see it go. It was hard for me to say goodbye to our house because we had so many wonderful memories there. It was our first home together, where we brought both of our children home from the hospital, the first place we really made our own. We enjoyed decorating, painting and improving, working in the yard and taking long Sunday walks around the neighborhood. Here are just a few of my favorite family memories marked in pictures:

Working so hard to make our baby boy's room perfect for his homecoming.







Agonizing over the perfect color to paint my kitchen. And it turned out perfect!





Through my tears, Jon kept reminding me "it's not the place, it's the people". Still, it marked the end of most things familiar to me as we pack up to move from my home in Georgia to the nation's capitol. But I'm done being sad and now excited for a change and a new adventure in our lives!
