A new move

Well, its official. We signed a contract for a new construction house today! We'll be building in Sussex, an area north of where we currently are and a bit more rural. We'll be moving May/June of next year. Here's a picture of the house we plan to build:

Its been a stressful few weeks with the negotiations and planning, and getting our current house ready to sell probably won't be any picnic either! And then there's a good chance that we'll have to rent for a while if we sell before the new house is ready. I hope we can survive all this! We all are excited though and hope that this house will be the one we stay in for a LONG time.

In other equally important news, Lucy got her first haircut. Here she is before. (I know, it looks like a mullet!)

And here she is after (I just took this so note that this is pre-combed bed head hair)

Labor Day

The start of September is making up weather-wise for the cold, crappy weather we had the rest of the summer. Labor Day weekend was awesome! We went up north and took a trip to Bay Beach. Bella loved this new ride they had. Swings, but smaller for little kids. Lucy was not happy that she was not big enough to go on them.

Since Lucy seemed to want to go on everything, Carlo took her down the big blue slide. Bella didn't want to try so she watched with the rest of us. I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but Lucy was not too happy by the time she got to the end. When asked if she wanted to go a second time, she gave a loud "NO!" in response!

Some pics by Lake Michigan. It was a beautiful day. The girls with Grandma.

The Saunders came up after they dropped Abby at LaCrosse. Lucy & Bryn chillin with their shades on.
Some early morning fishing. What a big catch!
