so, where have we have been the past 3 months???

At the Grandparent's house! I tell you, it has been quite the journey getting to where we are right now. God has had a hand in it all though and has arranged us to be right here in our new house for this season of our lives.

Where (and when) did this all start?!? Well, we left our old house in a small, quiet neighborhood, and headed here....to Lala and Papaw's house, which is even more quieter! It was the end of July and this was a scene Lala and I looked out on a lot in the evenings. How peaceful! Luke got to play a lot outside and run around all day long. Oh, and this was the summer we officially declared "the one when Luke wore his sunglasses everywhere"

Caleb started to learn how to move around too....

And the boys took their first bath together there....
And got lots of good quality time in with the grandparents....

Like I said, Luke played a lot outside and Caleb learned how to use his Bumbo. See how happy he was about it?

But then, after what we had hoped would have only been 4 weeks but ended up being 7, we had to say goodbye. And moved in with Mimi and Papaw Jeff.

Lala kept the boys entertained as we switched houses (good thing Lala and Mimi literally live 5 minutes from each other!!)

Caleb was entertained by food, of course. The kid doesn't miss a meal these days.

And Luke played with his cars for several hours....All the while, mommy and daddy moved us. Yes, our mattress was on top of my car. And yes, it did try to fly off as we drove down the road.

Then we settled in nicely with Mimi and Papaw. Caleb started to kind of like Tummy Time and began really lifting his head up. Of course all the while Luke lays on top of him.
Luke got to sleep in Mimi's BIG boy bed and he loved it. We had lots of slumber parties and cuddle times....

But then, after what we had hoped would have been only 4 weeks but ended up being 6, we moved into our new place. Now this one was 25 minutes away from Mimi and Lala. So a little farther away, but I think we have all settled in nicely.

Caleb is enjoying his new toys that were stuck in storage and Luke most definetly missed his bean bag and books.

So, after a total of exactly 3 months, we have a home of our very own, and life is getting back to normal.

The question we get after we tell someone we have a new house is always, "how long do you think you will be there??"

To that we say, we don't know. Now that we are here, it's hard to say. Luke doesn't start school for another 3 years (since he has a late birthday), so we have at least that long to find somewhere new. *smile*

Seriously though. We don't know. But we do know that this house is not going to be our forever house. We wish we could pick this house up and set it down where we came from, but, of course that can't happen. So, we will wait. Knowing that God worked this out for us to be here, right now, in this season of our lives. He will lead the way.
