| Watching the movers pull up to the house. |
The move out of the Richmond house went very well. Once the house was all packed up Dennis flew to Indiana while the boys and I stayed with Holly for a week.
This past week at Holly's was jammed pack with fun. With 5 boys 6 and under in one house, we needed to keep them busy or else wrestling and running would start up. So, we went to a splash park, playgrounds, the pool, played in the sprinkler and I am sure a few other things, but I can't think of them right now. Colin and Evan also enjoyed a day and night staying at their Grandma's house.
While Dennis was in Indiana he bought a house!!! Now, I am either very trusting of my husband or have completely lost my mind and at this moment after just driving 10 hours to Indiana, I honestly can't say which. Anyway, because it was a good deal and we didn't want the house to get taken, I agreed for Dennis to buy a house without me ever seeing it! I will say that I looked at LOTS of pictures, so I wasn't completely blind in the decision and I did see some houses last summer, so I had a slight idea of what was out there. Anyway, with some reservations, we went ahead and made an offer and are now owners of 2 homes!
Dennis flew back to VA Friday night (unfortunately, he got in late and missed out on a family barbecue with my whole family, minus my parents who are in Italy). Saturday morning we got up and drove back to Richmond so the boys could enjoy their last baseball games of the season. And what a day it was....Evan got a couple outs when he played first base! Colin also played first base and got 4 outs in his game and got the "game ball" which he was thrilled about. Saturday evening was spent at Grandma Bridgers house and getting to say our goodbyes to Dennis' side of the family.
One highlight of Saturday was Logan got his first haircut!!! He was nervous at first, but after a few tears he ended up doing okay. Speaking of Logan, he is walking much more now! He really took off this past week.
Today, we hit the road for Indiana. After just shy of 10 hours we pulled in to our temporary apartment. That included a 45 minute lunch break and two potty breaks, so we made pretty good time. The boys were surprisingly very good during the drive. Colin and Evan went back and forth between watching movies and coloring. Colin also took a couple cat naps and all 3 slept the last hour and a half. Logan took a couple long naps and most of the time just sat there quiet looking out the window or laughing. He fussed a few times briefly, but for the most part was awesome.
Despite spending all that time in the car, we hoped back in it so we could take a look at our new home....We are very excited about it. I love the backyard and view of the lake. The house is nice inside, a little smaller than I had wanted, but we love the lot so it was worth sacrificing a little on space. We can't wait to move in and get settled. Well, I have already gone past keeping this "brief" so I will end it here. After a long, long time coming, we are in Indiana.....let the new adventures begin...
