In April we bought a house! Its a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom townhouse and we love it! It nice and big especially compared to the shoebox we were living in before. We closed on it on Monday March 29th and the spent that entire week painting and cleaning then we moved in on Saturday April 3rd. I did take before pictures but I won't post them til I have the after pictures, and I won't have after pictures until I get some stuff hung on my walls and things decorated a bit more.
By May Neil had finished another semester of school and summer was in full swing. We've been keeping busy with lots a BBQs with friends and trips to the pool that is conveniently located in our back yard common area. Eve and Adi's first time in the pool was short and stressful, but as we've continued to go they love to jump in and splash around.
To start off June we took a nice long trip to Moapa for my nephew Houston's baptism. We had loads of fun. I loved hanging out with my sisters and just chatting. It was great to see so much family. This was Neil's first time going to Nevada in the summer time(we always went down for Thanksgiving). He was continually amazed at how blessed hot it could get there and never stopped reminding me how crazy it was that people lived there. Me, I loved it! Of course I got nice a sunburned my first days there but I loved being surrounded by childhood memories and places that held a special place in my heart.
Speaking of BBQs and trips to the pool, we come to the event that urged me to finally update my blog. Yesterday, we had some friends over for a delicious belgian waffles breakfast and swimming. As we're splashing around having a good time, I look at Eve floating along in her little pool toy and she gives me the sweetest little smile. Something catches my eye! I try to get her to smile for me again but she will have none of it. So like any curious mother would I stick my finger in her mouth. Sure enough, my eyes weren't deceiving me, a tooth! My dearest Evelyn at 21 months old finally cuts her first tooth. I am so excited for her! I'm also crossing my fingers that she won't be running around for the next year with only one tooth.
So there's the news with us, and I promise to post pictures soon. Lots of love!
