And..........the big news is........

 It's not that my kids are all really adorable in the sand, although that is true!!!!!  And look at daddy's creation - just in case we forgot our name :) 

 It's not that this girl has had a bad week, but in the last couple of days has really really really done amazing...although that is TRUE!!!!!!!!! :)

 It's not that we had a blast on the 4th with family watching the fireworks.......

 It's not that the fireworks were really fun- although it was great!

 Intro- this is my cousin Ryan, his wife Caroline, and their youngest of 6 Ezra :)

 It's not that this past weekend was great because WE GET TO CELEBRATE- although we give a HUGE SHOUT OUT TO ALL WHO HELP TO KEEP US FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  THANK YOU IS NEVER ENOUGH, but we love the fact we get to go to worship as a family without fear!!!! :) 

 Awww......look at the wonderful fireworks....yeah that's not the announcement either....

 Love the bits that spiral down....sometimes it replicates our lives..........

NOPE- THE ANNOUNCEMENT IS.........

AS OF AUGUST 19th.......

WE WILL OFFICIALLY BE HOMEOWNERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEP, just praying for that refund to come.....we have enough for the good faith down payment, and the extra costs......so just waiting.......and praying.....but soooo BLESSED TO KNOW that we have found a home!!!!
