Home again...

Our beach trip was fantastic! James and I went with my family, the Wards, and the Clapps (plus a few extra tagalongs!). We had such a good time, but as always, we were ready to come by the end of the week! We had great weather while we there. It did rain one day and one evening, but it gave us a good excuse to sit around inside and relax, so I won't complain! Nothing big really happened while we were there. For the most part, it was just a restful week for all of us! Fortunately, Lee Anne didn't go into labor while we were there so Kellie got to stay with us all week! James and Chad played golf with my dad and Todd twice at the beach. They had a lot of fun, and I enjoyed having those days to myself! But leave it to James to break all the rules of golfing...he definitely drove his golf cart up on the green AND hit Todd in the ankle with his ball. Only James... They all thought it was hysterical though! Here are some pictures of the trip...I'll try to post some more later.

This week is turning out to be just as crazy as I imagined it would be! I've been at VBS the past 2 nights and enjoyed every minute of it! I'm in with the bed babies, so I've just taken care of Baby Tripp both nights. Don't get me wrong, all the kids are adorable, but Tripp is extra sweet. He's my favorite baby boy :) While I've been at VBS, James has been at home packing stuff up (and doing a fabulous job!). I'm so grateful to have a husband like him who is willing to take care of things at home like packing while I'm off holding babies! It seems like we still have a ton of packing to do. Stuff keeps appearing out of no where! We bought paint on Saturday. That was such a hard decision to make! It was fun though. We're painting 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, the laundry room, and the front door. Fortunately, the living room and kitchen colors fit nicely with all of our decor! We are so excited about finally getting into our own house! It feels like everything in life is falling into place for us right now. God is blessing us beyond anything we could have imagined. We are truly grateful for all that we have, especially our families. Hopefully the rest of the week will go smoothly, between me starting the new job, closing on the house, and moving! This is an exciting time in our lives!
