Moving!

After a couple of eventful weeks, the Peanut household is *not* getting back into the normal rhythm of life. Rather, we are completely involved in preparing for our move . . . which will take place on August 23rd. It is, shall we say, interesting to attempt packing with the littles running hither and thither . . . but we are somehow propelled by the thought that we will not be doing this again for QUITE some time. Now that we know where we will be for years to come (hopefully), we are eager to settle in to our little house and become comfortable there.

We look back on the past few weeks with full hearts. We had a lovely visit from Grandma G, who babysat numerous times so that we could complete all of the last minute details on our home purchase. The littles especially enjoyed all of the love and attention she gave while she was with us.


We are also so thankful for the visit of Grandma and Papa T. They rose above and beyond the call of duty by driving out from California, painting our new basement for us, doing various other projects at our new home, driving me all around the Twin Cities metropolitan area so that I could shop for furniture bargains, and hoisting said (heavy) bargains into the back of their truck. Their visit was packed with activity, but we don't know what we would have done without their help. In the midst of it all, the littles were able to enjoy some good Grandma and Papa time.



Though we are so far away from so many family members and friends, we continue to feel the warmth of their love and support as we commence this new (somewhat frightening) endeavor of home ownership.
