3 Month Milestone

This week marks 3 months of trailer-dwelling. **phew** We are still alive! The kids have grown out of shoes and clothes in this time period. We have learned the ins' and outs' of being in a tiny house and are feeling the pinch. I cant even tell you how excited I am to use a full size oven, dishwasher, and take a bath again. The excitement!!!

So much has happened in just the last week. We had inspection on the house and are working on coming to an agreement on the counter offer and repair addendum. Such a tedious process! We have until Monday to settle. Lets just say, original furnaces from the 70s need help... and so does the plumbing.

 We tentatively began looking at the very limited selection of homes for sale and yesterday found one that we fell in love with. Its over our budget so we are praying and waiting to see where God leads. All I can say is: 10 acres of peaceful quiet and no cellphone service..sounds crazy right?... Sounds like a dream.. and yes we would have wi-fi... HOPEFULLY more on that later. And if not, we are excited to see what God is up to.

While trailer dwelling I have invested time in dabbling in some new avenues of art to get the kids interested in it, and to find new activities to keep them engaged. I have fallen in love with water color paints and have started playing around with calligraphy and text art. Fun things!

School starts for Ethan next week! Cant believe that 1st grade is upon us.

We went hiking as a family last weekend. Holy cow it seems like the whole summer has just disappeared- most of it spent on house repairs and such. Hiking was a nice change of scenery. The kids did the entire 4 miles!

How are you spending the last week of summer???
