What you really wanted. . .

I know that my last entry was probably a disappointment for those of you wanting to see pictures of the new house. So I'm wasting no time putting up part 2.  We are SO happy in our new neighborhood.  All the green makes me giddy. We have a much smaller yard than we did before but 6 houses down is a neighborhood pool and park and we don't even have to put chlorine in the pool or mow the grass :) The boys have at least 10 neighbor boys their age who like to go out and play football and basketball down at the park.  Some neighbors threw a party last weekend to welcome us and let us meet about 5 of the families nearby.  It was awesome!  They are all very kind people and we really enjoyed the party. The neighborhood is gated which is really just a pain and doesn't keep us more secure but there is an atmosphere of small town togetherness that I like the feel of. They have neighborhood parties during the holidays too.  We also live within walking distance of a beautiful new library and big park.  We are taking full advantage of that.  We are a little further away from work and church then we had hoped but it's not too bad of a commute.  So I don't have pictures of the inside of the house yet, I'm sure you understand, it's still being put together.  You'll just have to come visit to see inside. God is good, all the time. We are so thankful for His faithfulness and kindness to our family.

 Our new Texas license plates, it's official on the front and the back!

They aren't giving out the pretty red, white and blue ones anymore. We get black and white.

 This tree out front is very pretty and it provides nice shade too, there's one just like it in the backyard. 

 Home Sweet Home

This is called St. Augustine grass.  I guess it's actually a weed but I love it!

 This was the first day we got here.  We went straight to the house, after 9 hours in the car.

 I LOVE this tree!!

 Emma and Will figured out how to ride down the hill in our backyard in their wagon.

Nate and Belle playing in the back yard, I didn't get a picture of the big tree back there,

it's to the right of Belle. Maybe next time.

 This is the pool down the street.  

These are the silly Arizonans still using the pool in October.
