The past few days have been filled with boxes for the Vassars. We have just about everything packed. While cleaning out the attic last week, I fell about 8 feet off the ladder and bruised myself up pretty badly. Nothing broken though. I went to the new house last week and took measurements of the windows, some walls, etc. I pretty much have a floor plan mapped out for furniture so maybe moving will be easy. At least we have the pool we can jump in and take a break if we need to.
Jackson will start back at Julian Harris after Labor Day and Lily will start pre-school at the same time. They both are very excited. Tyler has been practicing for Fall baseball and he seems pretty good at pitching.....although the consistency is not there yet. Brandon closed another big deal this week! Yea! I got word from my manager that I am on a short list for a Private Banking position in Decatur.....not sure when I'll hear more about it though. Jackson was bitten by a spider at the lake last weekend while with his dad. I had to take him to the ER Sunday night for the infection, but he's fine now. Whew. Cinco is getting HUGE! We have been taking her to the river to fetch a tennis ball in the water.....she loves it!
We will start moving next Friday and hopefully be done by Sat night. That way we can have some friends over for Labor Day to swim. We had the buyers of our house over Saturday night and they could not stop talking about how much they love the house! We were so pleased that they are excited about moving in. They seem very nice and their little boy, Peyton, is precious. Brandon is starting to feel sad about leaving his home of 10 years, but he likes the fact we sold it to a couple who will care for it and enjoy it as much as he did....as much as we all did.
THANKS JOHN AND KATHY FOR THE BOXES AND FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!

New House - For real this time!
We have purchased 2319 Anderson Dr and we move in at the end of August! It's a beautiful four bedroom home with a pool just like we wanted....only better. Great location, beautiful house with an immaculate yard, and it is move-in ready. No maintenance required! We plan to paint Tyler's room and our room, and that's it! Dad and Mom are probably going to see it on Thursday night when I go over there to get some measurements. I really don't think they'll find anything wrong with it. Brandon and I are so excited......this is the perfect house for us.
Jackson will be changing schools again and going back to Julian Harris where we has been the last two years. He's excited that he'll get to be with his old friends from kindergarten and 1st grade, but he and Tyler are sad that they won't be at the same school anymore. We've tried to talk to them about the changes we are going to face, but how things will finally settle down now for all of us.
Tyler has started practicing for fall baseball. He is part of an all star team this fall and Brandon is the pitching coach. Should be some good times!!!!!
Jackson is loving life and Lily is counting down the days until she starts school. They are excited about unpacking all of their toys again when we get to the new house.
Cinco is growing bigger each day. She spent time in the river over the weekend and is truly becoming the water dog!

Retract
I need to retract the previous post about "our new house". It did not pass inspection due to several unfixable foundation issues. Thank you, Daddy for being the expert and for being honest and protective. I love you and appreciate you looking after us.
Now we are on the hunt again for another house with four bedrooms. Even though we are thankful that we didn't purchase a lemon, we are disheartened that we may not find another house we love so much. Keep your fingers crossed. We are still packing since we have to be out of our house at the end of September. If we haven't found anything by then.....we may have to move in with family. Anyone up for company????
School starts for the boys on Thursday and we finally have all the school supplies purchased. We meet their teachers on Tuesday night and then the 8:30pm bedtime routine starts back up again. I'm personally looking forward to the late night TV time in a quiet house with my husband and dog by my side on the couch again. Ahhh....it's like I can almost smell the popcorn, feel the quilt around my feet, and hear the sound of children sleeping.
