so i lied

july came and went and now it's the middle of august.. four days before akyra has her first birthday... and i haven't posted anything new. i realize that school starts in a few weeks. holy crap! kids need new school clothes... my second anniversary is in 10 days. wow. but the big news is that we got a little real estate happy and decided to also put our other house up for sale. we found a great house that we love and put a bid in on it back in july. so now we are trying to sell two houses and get into another one. it's been a crazy summer. the poor kids have been so patient with us... taking numerous trips to lowe's every weekend, keeping the house so clean it's borderline obsessive. both elijah and hannah made a list of the things they want to do this summer and of course nothing said "renovate" or "sell a house or two". they wrote things like... go on a bike ride, go swimming... stay in a hotel... go to the state fair. me and matt were surprised at how important the little things are to them. so we have tried to do all the little things inbetween all this house craziness. WE ARE taking them to the state fair... and we are not going to worry about anything else other than if they are having fun.
