Home is where the crazies are


July was a big month for our family.  We sold our house and bought a new place, big enough for all of us.
Parting with our old place was bittersweet.  When we moved in to the old house Lucas was 1.  That house had been the only house Casey and Tyler had ever called 'home'.  We made so many wonderful memories in it.  From birthday parties, to family dinners... from family game nights to friday dance parties.  Lots of wonderful things happened in our old house and it wasn't easy to let it go.
From the moment we walked into the new house it felt right.  It was twice the size of our old house with all the amenities and comforts we had been looking for.  It was a crazy couple of months of paperwork, inspections, appraisals, saving money and finally a closing.
Then the real madness began... packing, moving, unpacking, sorting... garbage piles, donations, new furniture building and lots of eating out.
We are finally home!
What we hope you kids will always remember is that home is wherever we are together.  It's where we can cuddle at night while reliving our day in the dark.  Where we sit down together for dinner and fight about who gets the last piece of chicken.  It's about sitting together to watch TV.  It's about us.
Daddy and I will always work hard and do our best to give you EVERYTHING.  You are our world and we take on the responsibility of being your parents extremely serious.  We raise you... no one else does our job.  What's important to us is making sure you go to great schools, with other kids who's parents strive for the same things we do for their children.
YOU 3 are what's most important and we hope to make many more wonderful memories with you in our new home.  Now please... there are 3200 square feet of living space.  There's no need to sit so close, follow us from room to room or stalk outside the bathroom door.
