OH MY GOSH!

Well I can tell you this-I severely underestimated the amount of work we would have ahead of us when we started this move! It has been a non stop week of working to get things to NC, out of storage and into the house. Whew! I couldn't have done this without the help of the family. The kids have been helping with Mike 24/7 and Mom and Roger have done all of the hard moving and hanging. They are leaving tomorrow and we are going to MISS them like crazy! Mike likes his new house. Whenever we drive up he claps his hands and says "house, house." He really likes the deck. We bought a pool just like Popo's, so he's having a blast with it. The neighbors just moved in yesterday. They are very nice. They have a 4yr old, a 2 yr old and the wife is pregnant with her third one right now! Everything is coming along nicely. Joe will have plenty to do when he gets home, so he didn't miss out on everything. We are so excited to see him and to have everyone come to visit. Since Joe has our computer and I have been using the family's, I will be without one until he comes home. They will be taking theirs back with them of course! So, if you email I won't get it for while. See you soon!

Happy Fourth!

We had a great weekend visiting with all of the cousins. Taryn and Gabe were able to come hang out at Popo's with all of us. Barclay was a great sport standing in as griller and kid wrangler. Mike liked him but was just intimidated enough to behave whenever Barclay was near. The actual fourth was cold and rainy. That didn't stop Mike from stripping down and getting into the pool. Chris put on a nice cookout for all of us. Roger and the kids put on a mini fireworks show for Mike. He thought it was very cool and clapped after each display. It was a great weekend. Now we are getting ready to pack up and head back to North Carolina. We will get there on Monday and I will be closing on the house that afternoon. Then we will move in before mom and the family has to go back to Indiana. When they do Mike and I will be waiting for Joe to come home and then the big reunion with the Haley's. Shortly after that the little one will be on his way. We're heading into a busy time!
