We finally moved out of our old house and into a new one this past weekend. We were glad to be moving to a better neighborhood and bigger house, but it was a little sad leaving our first home that we owned and the home that our babies were born in. The move went fairly smoothly. Sam and one of our neighbors did all the heavy lifting and I watched the girls. It is so much harder moving with kids and trying to entertain them while still packing things up and putting them away.

We are loving our new house! There is so much more room for us to spread out and Reagan finally has her own room! Sam stayed up until 1 a.m. for two nights in a row to paint it and put the furniture together so she can finally have her own space.

We took a long walk yesterday morning to explore Chimney Springs a little bit. We found a little mini park and then walked down to the lake to try and find some ducks. We did not find the ducks yesterday, but today we ventured out again and went to the big playground. Reagan used the baby swing for the first time and seemed to like it.


We found some Canadian geese down by the water and Hannah was instantly drawn to them. She ran right up to them and within a few minutes there were about 50 ducks headed right for us looking for food. Hannah was laughing and loved it!
We are hoping to get up to the pool in the next couple days and try that out. Hopefully we will meet some nice families with kids to play with! More pictures of the inside of the house to come once we get a little more settled!

We have been so busy the past few weeks! We are finally moving next week into a new house with more space and in a great neighborhood. We ended up renting our home out starting August 1st since we were not able to sell it. I think we found pretty good people so hopefully it will all work out okay. We are renting a home for ourselves too for a little while until we can buy. The house we are moving into is super cute and we are so excited! I found a new preschool for Hannah over by the new house. She will be going Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings starting the middle of August. I will also be switching to work night shift at work, so that I can spend more time at home on the weekends. It has been really hard not having any days where we are all home together as a family. I will be working Friday and Sunday nights and although I will be tired, this hopefully will allow me to spend time with the family on Saturday and Sunday. So our days have been filled with packing, patching up holes in the walls, painting, signing leases, getting rid of stuff we don't need anymore, buying new furniture for the new place while also trying to take the little ones out to do fun summer stuff. It has been very stressful to try to get everything done but will all be worth it in the end when the big move is all over. Wish us luck next week....we are going to need it!
Reagan is still not sure about tummy time, but enjoys it so much more when she can do it next to her big sis!

Reagan loves this little ducky just as much as Hannah did when she was little!

Once again Hannah has no clothes on, but she sure is happy! I would say 80% of the time she just wants to run around in her diaper!
