The girls did not know we were homeless, they had so much fun living in Ohio with Gma and Gpa. We met up with a friend of mine from HS and went to the local Dairy Farm. They fed the goats, saw cows and ate ice cream.
We celebrated the 4th of July while in Ohio as well. We went over to my grandma's house and had a cook out with lots of yummy foods. Other family came too to celebrate.
Grandpa built a Tic Tac Toe board for the girls to play. They were thrilled! But not as thrilled as when great grandma brought out ice cream cones! We had a fun visit to Ohio, but like most trips, it felt over before we knew it. We needed to head back to Florida to close on our new home on the 7th!!
Heading home! The girls didn't last long!
We stopped by GA on the way back to celebrate a late 4th with Tim, Livvy and the boys. It was only one night but the girls loved seeing their cousins again!
On July 7th, 2015, we closed on our second home! Yay we got the keys!
And I got right to work making a few paint color changes! The girls room was a DARK blue. While it was nice, it was just too dark and didn't scream my girls, so I asked them what they wanted.
Found this guy in the stones on the fireplace. He's our fireplace friend! haha!
The girls enjoyed exploring and discovering all the new things about the house. The first being a balcony!! Then it was all the puddles from the rain!
This is our first night in the new house. Since I already started painting their room, the girls slept on the floor in what they called "the tree room". The next day, we rented a uhaul and started bringing over all our stuff from the storage unit. We filled the garage! Sophie liked finding all the little nooks to crawl into.

| Break time for Gpa! |
Storage unit is clearing out!
Of course the place to play was right in the middle of the kitchen, in front of the garage door. Sigh, girls. At least they were entertained!
When we got the keys and moved in, Sunshine and Paul surprised us with this plaque, candle and soap. I think its PERFECT and love the sign soo much!
The girls where torn between pink and purple for their room, so momma did both!
Only a 1/4 of the backyard. I love all the green and trees! Feels like an oasis compared to the Sanford house backyard!
Not too long after moving in, it was Cow Day at Chick-fil-a. So I did my best to dress the girls in white as cows to get free food. It worked!
Oh I love the white kitchen! This I can work with!
The girls met the neighbor boys (one on each side of us actually) and they gave each girl a band bracelet. Instant friends!
Organizing and unpacking was put on a slight hold because we got new carpet for the bedrooms! I love it so much more than the black!
The older two got a bunkbed! We also got a new mailbox because the old one was so weathered and broken, it was time to go. Love the new one!
With a lot of work, and much determination from me, the very last day of July, I got my van in the garage! Yay it fits!!
To be Continued.....again.. :D
