We've Moved!

We did it! We moved! After renting for the last 2 1/2 years - we finally bought a house! Still in AZ, but now in Mesa. Actually, it is only a few miles from where we have been living! We are glad to be staying in AZ, close to our sisters Tash & Shelly & to all the good friends we have made over the last few years.
We are still getting settled, but so far, so good! Ava & Dillon seem to really like it - there is so much more room for them. They have bigger bedrooms, and a loft area that we use as a playroom - Ava calls it 'the lot'. We will eventually have a nice backyard for them to play in - right now it is all dirt!
There are nice parks & playgrounds in the neighborhood, and we have met some really great neighbors in our cul-de-sac.
Here are a few pictures from moving:

My packing helpers - Ava & Dillon

We had a garage sale before we moved. This was in Ava's room. Once I told her she could keep the money she made from selling some of her old toys, she made signs for every toy in her room!

On moving day, we had help from Tash, Maddie, Sam & one of his friends, Shelly, Alex, Livi & Nate & our good friends Ryan & Rachel Bailey ~ we could not have done this without them!

The Baileys brought donuts and our little moving helpers took a donut break. Ava & Ella and Jack & Dilly.

This is the day we got the keys to our new house...

Same day... Really empty house...

Once we get moved in a little more - I will take pictures of the house & post them. There are a few projects I want to do, and I will take pictures along the way. Painting, backyard landscaping, tile (eventually), etc. Lots of things to do to get settled, but we are here and we are loving it!!! Maybe (hopefully) we will actually stay here more than a couple of years!!!
