July 2017

After the absolute madness of moving and traveling to Disney World in the span of 2 weeks, July was a much quieter and relaxed month. We spent a good bit of time unpacking boxes and settling in but had a lot more downtime than we had the past 3 months.

We took a trip to Lake Lookout for Gma's birthday.

We celebrated July 4th in the neighborhood. We spent a good chunk of the day in the pool, then invited some friends that live in the neighborhood over for dinner. When it got dark, we realized some neighbors spent a lot of cash on fireworks and launched them in the green space of the neighborhood that is within sight of our house. So, we walked to watch fireworks and it was so much fun. 

We spent lots of time in our new neighborhood's pool this month. The kids went to the pool with he nanny about 4 days after we closed and afterwards it was a daily request to go swimming. Both kids made a lot of progress with their swimming due to having such frequent access to a pool and I am grateful for that. The pool was one of the deciding factors in picking this neighborhood and well worth the price of our HOA fees.

Mason participated in our church's youth soccer camp and he said he had a lot of fun.

After being in the house about a month, we let Aubrey have the first sleepover here. It was craziness having 3 8-year olds in the house but they had a lot of fun and that is what mattered.

It was nice to enjoy our summer in the new house and new neighborhood. After so much busyness, just being able to sit still and soak everything in was such a blessing to us.
