Home Sweet Camper

Well, we did it. We sold and moved out of our current house. We bought a bigger, nicer house in a much better school district. The hard part: our new house is still being built. We have 3 weeks until our new house is done on July 22. So what to do with our crew? Move into the camper. It was incredibly difficult to decide what we would need for the next 3 weeks that would fit into the camper! But after an insanely busy weekend, the house stuff is packed and stored to be delivered on our closing date to the new house. And we are ensconced in the camper at a local state park. Eric an I are exhausted, but hoping that these 3 weeks will give us a breather before we have to get to the unpacking/setting up house part. So I will try to keep updates as to how we're doing :-) I also have a few older posts to finish showing the pictures I've taken, ad the fun things we've done before the move. So here is our first afternoon at the campground:

Emilie and our "lap dog" Hanna

Claire, Emilie, and Elise playing paper dolls in the screen house (Chloe was sleeping)

Buddy "When are we going to cook something over a fire?"

Hanna "Is it time to go swimming yet?"

Maisy "I really want to catch one of those large bugs flying by the camper window..."

Memorial Weekend

We spent Memorial Weekend with our good friends Wade and Nikki and their family. Camping at Whippoorwill Lake was a lot of fun. The kids got in lots of crawdad catching, swimming, and playing. We also had lots of good food :-) Esp. desserts made at the campfire each night. Here are a few pictures (courtesy of Nikki) from our weekend:
