Settling In

August was an extremely busy month for us! I was working constantly to try to get the house in order. I was answering the door all the time for the carpet guys, the RC Willey guys, etc... and I was also on the phone a lot too! Not only that I was cleaning and trying to get renters. Not to mention we had previously commited to vacations every weekend in August so every Thursday I was packing to leave and every Monday unpacking and washing clothes. It was a bit stressful, but we found ways to find joy in the little moments.

Tsadakah and Eliannah discovered the fun of making shadows on the wall! Tsadakah has two turtles kissing.

Eliannah was making a bird, but I caught it to late and she had pulled away. But it was pretty good!

MiKaylah loves our new carpet! She rolls around on it literally laughing from sheer joy!

Tsadakah fell asleep in front of the TV like this! lol

Brought on by the idea from my dad, and the fact that we had so many perfect boxes for the enjoyment, we built a cardboard box castle. Behind Ellie you can see the chimney box! And there were also some that looked like the fortress spires. It was awesome fun, but in the heat of August, they didn't play very long in it. :(

My sister in law, Cristina, came to visit and see the new house! It was great to see her and her kids. We had some good laughs. Tsadakah loves to play with her cousin and they had a tea party in the castle with our picnic dishes.

You can see Eliannah lounging in the back room. lol It really was a cool castle! Hee hee, see the window on top? And we have actually gotten bigger boxes than these since then!
