1 week to go...

We had a fun time last week going to Houston, visiting friends and trying to soak up every last minute while we're still in TX. When we got back, we went to ride the train at Zilker with Aunt Joy, took Aubrey to the Sprinkler park, had dinner at the Oasis, Aubrey went swimming with her neighbor friends, and we went to Gruene with the Smiths on Saturday. We also had a busy open house yesterday -- the realtor said several people seemed interested in our house, so hopefully it'll be under contract soon...? We'll be visiting with more family & friends this week as well as packing up all the essentials that we'll be bringing with us next Monday on the plane. We recently found out that the moving company won't be able to deliver our stuff for a couple WEEKS after we arrive in VA. So, looks like we'll be "camping in" for a little while... We could stay here longer, but we already bought our tickets and we are just ready to all be in one location as a family. I know it isn't ideal, but we are just going to make the best of it. The house comes with a washer/ dryer and refrigerator, so at least we can wash our clothes & not have to use a cooler. We're just going to bring Will's pack'n'play and a queen air mattress for us. Other than that, I'll be filling a couple suitcases with some favorite books, toys, stuffed animals and familiar items for the kids. Once again, we'd appreciate your prayers, especially that we'd all adjust well and that this transition would go as smoothly as possible, even without furniture!

Here are some highlights from last week!
