We Moved!

Well, August has come and went and the Kings didn't have a second of down time. We sold our home and are in the process of building our next one. It was hard to see that house go. We worked so hard to remodel it and we have a lot of memories there; growing up there and bringing our babe home for the first time. I took a bunch of pictures, and Graham was able to cut out the cement piece that we (the Peterson's) put our hand prints when the pool was put in years ago. We gave it to my dad for his birthday, and it was an emotional day. We all wear our feelings on our shirt sleeves, so needless to say it was a very special gift.

Did I mention we're living at the parents' house? Well, it is going really good. We didn't want to start our new place until our home sold, so we our homeless for a few weeks (8?!). My parents so graciously offered up there place, and we pounced! They are so layed back. We have taken over the basement. We brought a lot of stuff with us and also put a lot of our stuff into storage. I can't believe all the "stuff" I can't live without! We attempted to have a garage sale the weekend before we moved, but that was the weekend it decided to rain 8 inches each day after a summer of drought. Obviously, it was not the weekend to make deals! The Goodwill got a huge donation that Saturday afternoon. We have no luck with sales.

Sean is growing, growing, growing! He is sitting on his own now, and that satisfied him for a few days. Now he wants to move, so I think he'll be crawling really soon. He is so smart and curious. He is very mechanical; he always wants to see how things work. He is using his pointer finger to touch and loves to watch/play with other kids. His cousins are a highlight in his life. His dad is his favorite person. Sean loves to do the "guy" stuff and rough house. I am there when he gets tired and needs a cuddle, which I love. He is a happy little man who fills our hearts with endless love.

Graham and I have both started back at school. I began meeting my new first graders last Thursday and will meet the remainder of them tomorrow. They are so excited to have desks and lockers this year, how sweet it is! Graham is hard core back to studying. His dedication to school and family is amazing.

Well, I sure hope all of you are doing well. I hope to update this more regularly now that we're settled!
