A little update and a move!

What have we been up to since May?  Let's do a quick update! 

The biggest  update is that we moved!  It all happened very quickly and actually things went very smoothly.  We moved to the Chester area, leaving behind our lovely house in Colonial Heights in probably one of the quickest and smoothest sales ever.  We posted our house for sale on 6/30 and the sale was finalized yesterday, July 13th, so less than two weeks!  We are definitely sad to leave our lovely neighborhood, but are enjoying our new house, especially since it has a pool!  

As far as the kids go, they are loving pool life and exploring the new area around our house.  I have included some recent pictures of the kids cause they are growing like weeds! 

Marc and Olivia did their very first Daddy/Daughter date night at Chick Fil A, I think it was a hit!

We went to a local farm for free farm days and it was a huge hit,  I highly recommend checking out Shoofly farm, they have a number of rescue animals and it is a great chance for kids to be hands on with the animals.  They even have retired horses that provide rides for the kids for a nominal fee.  Olivia loved River, the rainbow unicorn. 

 

 

We celebrated June and July Birthdays with some of our cousins and the kids enjoyed being a member of the Paw Patrol (and the bounce house fun too, of course!).  

One day on a whim, while Dad was doing yard work, me and the kids went to run to the grocery store and found a great clips.  Olivia had been begging me for a "big girl haircut," as I have been cutting her hair since the start of the pandemic.  Benny had only had one cut from me and it was less than ideal, so we put our names on the wait list, got our groceries and then got in for "Big kid cuts."  AKA good-bye to Benny's ponytail :)  My little Man looks so grown up!

 

And look at this beautiful little girl with her new haircut:

 

One of my favorite pictures of Benjamin, here is his with his tongue out while building, just like his daddy when he is concentrating...

We took a trip last weekend to Kings Dominion for the final day of Carnivale and the kids loved it:

And finally we will end off with a family picture; these kids are growing up so much...

Hope everyone's summer is off to a great start!  Reach out if you need our new address, I have been bad about sending address updates :)
