This Monday, our family went to the walk through at the new property. We found that it was all pretty trashy, but that everything was in working order that needed to be. So we went through with the closing, and now we OWN it!!! That very same day, we set to work hauling loads of trash that was left in the house, and burned it in a big bonfire. We also had some friends from church (the Geists,) and our grandmother (Mamaw) over to help us! We got a lot done that day, and I thought everyone would like to take a peek into our day, with some photos.

| The sandy area to the left, is where there had been a big blue pool. It was dry rotted and scattered all over the sandy spot. So now we have a ton of little tiny pieces of blue plastic to pick up! (No idle little ones now!) |

| What will some day be the girls room! Looks pretty small, but it's bigger once you're inside. |

 |
| One thing I LOVE about the house is the many cabinets in the kitchen! There is almost three times as many as what we have now! |
 |
| Our new neighbors came over and introduced themselves. |
 |
| Mama. |
 |
| Alayna and Lily Ann took charge of the children's bathroom. And they got it sparkly clean! |
 |
| William would haul the trash out for us. He was a big help! |
 |
| Every thing was nasty inside and out. |

| Looks like a junk yard right now, but Lord willing, one day it won't! It already looks a lot better since I took this picture. |

 |
| I love his expression... Actually, I always do:) |
 |
| Justice loved to throw things on the fire. Daddy calls him his "little fire bug." |
 |
| Even though you can't see it, William is holding a brown lizard in his hand. |
 |
| We were blessed to have Mamaw over for the day! She was showing the girls some material she had for Mama. |
 |
| Sweetie.. |
 |
| Sisters... |

| We loved our time with Mamaw, and only regret that she can't come every day! |
