My Superhero

This little outfit has a hat and mask too, but Luke doesn't like anything on his head. He is one cute spiderman!

Our new address

Well, after living in our new house for only 2 weeks, we feel very settled. There are only 3 boxes left to unpack and a few pictures to hang on the walls. Not too bad if I do say so myself. Here is Luke showing off our new address. (I stole this idea from my friend Kelly.) Come check out our new digs soon!!!

Moving Day

Well, we are finally moved into our new home...and we LOVE it! We closed on our new house June 13th and spent that weekend painting and moving. We had some awesome helpers with our move! Thanks to our friends and families! You are amazing!!!

Luke has been loving our new house too. Especially the stairs! And he's been so helpful with the unpacking. We've made some good progress in the week that we have lived here...ALL but 8 boxes have been unpacked! We are really enjoying our new side of town! I'll be sending out our new address soon...come visit!



Our star painter, Amanda...she can paint a room in about 20 minutes!



Marisa gets the award for most trim painted...she literally trimmed every room that we painted in our house! I owe her big time!



Here's JC...this picture was taken before actually moving. He wasn't smiling this big after moving 3 truckloads of our stuff the next day! :)



My dad helped us fix up some things on our old house a few weeks ago. Luke was a HUGE help too!

First haircut

Well, Luke was getting a bit of a mullet, so we finally cut it! I held him, Marisa cut his hair, and Kelly took pictures! He was very good the whole time!

Luke loves yogurt!

I gave Luke his own spoon and yogurt today for lunch. WOW! What a mess. I mean...it was everywhere! But he loved being such a big boy. And he equally loved splashing in the tub afterwards!

New House

We (finally!) found a new house. For those people who say it's a buyer's market, I have to disagree! We started looking for houses 6 weeks ago. Our specifications were: older neighborhood with trees, decent size yard, 2 story home, in Fishers. You wouldn't think that would be too much to ask for. We physically walked in and looked at over 90 homes in the Fishers area. Most of the houses met some of our criteria, but not all. We ended up narrowing our search to 3 neighborhoods.

Here's what has happened in the last 2 weeks...We put an offer in on house #1 the same day as someone else. They offered list price...we did not. So, we moved on to house #2...almost put an offer in, until we found out some not so good things about the house from that realtor. Fell in love with house #3...put an offer in. They accepted another offer the night before...again for over list price! (Who the heck offers list price in a buyers market anyway?) Finally moved on to house #4...liked it alot (didn't love it)...made an offer. That seller didn't seem to willing to negotiate. But while we were in the middle of counter offering on house #4, house #3 became available again. For some reason, those buyers backed out. We were so excited! So, we bailed on house #4 and went back to house #3.

So this week we FINALLY made an offer on house #3, they accepted, and we close on it June 13th. Our inspection is next Tuesday...hopefully we won't find any major problems. I don't know if I can handle any more house hunting! :) We close on our old house June 20th, so we'll have a week to paint, clean, and move! God's perfect timing at work once again!

I will say, that our realtors have been AMAZING through this whole process. They sold our house super fast, which in this supposed "buyers market" (I still don't agree, but whatever) is awesome. The realtor who has been showing us homes has also been extremely helpful. I would recommend them to anyone! Here's their website...http://www.the-morris-group.com/
Thanks Debbie, Suzanne, Tracy, Kristi, and Alyssa!

Here's a picture of our new house! It is in Conor Knoll (allisonville and 131st.)



And here is my favorite room in the house...

Learning new tricks

Luke has been learning a few new things this week. He earned how to open doors...and he took his first steps last night at our Young Life meeting. JC and I both got to witness it. It was awesome! He's done it a few more times today too. I think I am in trouble!



Look what I can do!




Helping me pack! We sold our house a few weeks ago and have to be out in a month. And today we are counter offering on a house that we found. I'll let you know how it turns out...
