An Eventful Week

So it has been somewhat of an exciting past week! Among the events, in no particular order:

- Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (don't read into the fact that i put that first...)
- Brass on the Grass
- Lucy Healey was born!
- Chris' 12th Birthday
- We bought a house

Yes we bought a house!! We are so so excited - God has been so good!! Keep an eye out for an upcoming post for the entire story - it is amazing and all because of what God has done! Honestly, we had very little to do with it, and I think that's what makes it so exciting :) I have a few pictures below that we took yesterday at the inspection. For now, here are some pictures from the week, in order this time i think! I'm getting better about that.....



Sunday: Chris' birthday. Here is Daniel taking a picture of Chris while opening gifts. Ever since he got Amy's old camera he's been having a lot of fun with it.




Dan in his typical twisted state. I don't think i could sit like that for too long

Tuesday: Brass on the Grass
Brian Vander Weide and Mark Prater at Brass on the Grass. Gotta love the hawaiian attire :)

The lovely Healeys




Meghan with her tank of a camera as Mike calls it :)



Beautiful Meghan




Michelle and Alex




M&M



No she didn't pose for this, whatever gave you that idea? ;)



The Praters



Saturday mornings: sleeping in is the best thing ever




Saturday afternoon: home inspection.
This here is my favorite room of the house - the kitchen! I love the green cabinets




We have a fireplace!!




This is a built-in-bookshelf that we absolutely love. it expands to a server for entertaining - an added bonus.




The family room.



Mike outside with the house inspector. I think the guy was on the roof - Mike was supposedly steadying the ladder?? :)

And so begins the packing. We close on August 28th - cannot wait!!!!
