july...all packed up

so y'all know it sold.  so, you can probably guess that our month of july was spent, well, packing.


although, i did attempt to gain some normality for the little ones...


normality is so difficult when you are moving, but watermelon outside seemed like a pretty normal thing, so we went with it.


you see, we were supposed to be gone by now.  but, as you can see...


we are still here.


emma thought we should take one last photo in front of the old house, so we did.  but to be completely honest, at the time, i had no idea if we would really end up moving or not.


to make a REALLY long story short...our buyer's loan was delayed.  and without our buyer, we couldn't buy, so we've been patiently not so patiently hanging out.  we had already donated our den furniture, so for longer than we had planned, we were spending our evenings on a blow up bed.  all of our toys were all boxed up.  we had nothing to play with.  so, we improvised with plenty of movie nights...


on the blow-up bed.  with beach towels for blankets.


and pizza delivery for supper.  we were praying that it would all be over very soon.
