Some Fun

We've been working hard getting the moving process going. The movers came on Wednesday to move the big things to Lansdale. They were great and even chatted with the kids. Anyone who's been around my kids for more than 1 minute knows they will talk your ear off and tell even the smallest details of everything going on.

Yesterday we had friends help us with the big items that were staying in Danville. It was very hot and since it was all big and/or heavy items, it was exhausting. However, it's done. Tomorrow we plan to actually put the apartment together with things in their proper places so that we can continue moving the "junk" over to where it needs to go. Living in limbo and with everything all over has been a challenge. It's driving me nuts that I don't know where everything is or if I do know, it's at a different house. Thank goodness this will be coming to an end. Most mom's look forward to school starting so they can have some freedom from their kids. I'm looking forward to my kids going to be with friends and getting everything in some sort of organized fashion!

Included are some new pictures. The first is of Sophie and Sara. Last week, Sophie challenged Sara for the most favorite, special ball and didn't back down until she got it. It was fun to watch. They were playing and chasing each other and Sophie didn't give in. Sara decided to just lay down and watch Sophie kick the ball and chase after it. When Sophie plays with it, she wants to do it all by herself which is opposite of Sara who would prefer to have to toss it a million times so she can run and get it. I also was able to get Sophie to lay down on command one evening too for the first time. She is actually very good with most commands except for "down" and I can only assume that bad things happened when she would lay down around people when she was a puppy. It's taken us over a year to get most of the way from the petrified, abused puppy to being just another dog so our hope is by next year, no one will be able to tell what a rough start to life she had.

The next two are the kids swimming with friends. We are blessed to have two families we are good friends with that have pools to cool off with. The kids have been having so much fun swimming around and are able to do things on their own in the pool for the most part.

The last picture was taken this morning of the kids watching Berenstein Bears. We're down air mattresses and folding chairs at the house. I'll be happy to sleep in a real bed again but the kids think this is all great fun. So, we continue to try and look on the bright side of things and consider this an adventure instead of just stress and chaos (or at least that's what I keep telling myself!)

Love,
