What a week last week was. We moved out of the house and into an apartment. Last weekend was physically and emotionally exhausting. We got everything into the apartment and storage and then I cleaned for two days. I just feel relieved to have that part done. It is still a little sad passing the house. We are really going to miss it, the neighborhood, the ward. The hardest part is going to be not seeing our great friends on a daily basis.
The apartment is actually just fine. When I tell people that it is a two-bedroom, they feel bad for us. It is really spacious and the kids are having fun. They keep calling it "the hotel." We take them swimming in the pool here almost everyday.
We are really trying to have a fun, relaxing summer and at the same time trying to pack a lot in. The kids start year-round school in 3 weeks--that is going to be a whole new experience for us. Andrew and Bev are in a summer camp called Bright Ideas that goes for the next two weeks (mornings only) and my sister Melanie and her family are coming next week for a visit. We are going to try to go camping this weekend. Packing it in.
Beverly finally got her glasses. (I will post a pic soon.) I took her to the eye doc a few weeks ago, because she didn't pass the vision screening at school a few months ago. I feel bad that I waited--she has really bad vision in her left eye. She is really excited about them and we all think she looks darling. Andrew, trying to be the older, informative brother, prepared her by telling her, "Now, when you get glasses, people might call you four-eyes, nerd, geek." Um, thanks for your help in this matter, Andrew. We then had a little discussion about him never calling her those things and how if he does he will really regret it.
We are off to complete our evening routine: Mike comes home, we go out to check on the new house, eat dinner and then go swimming.

Being an apartment dweller too, I understand where you are coming from!
We have a similar routine, although until we found a house, we were searching at night, so the pool has been a day event!
It is kind of nice, not having as much stuff, no yard work, if something breaks, call the landlord! Those things make it nice!
Good luck on the house being finished on time!!
Congrats to Bev~it is always nice to be able to see!
When the kids talk about the "hotel" is is always positive, so you are obviously doing something right as they think is is fun. I hope you have fun camping too.
Bev can always talk to Taylor about wearing glasses as Taylor is pretty positive about hers. (Andrew hasn't called her names!!!)
The house is looking great. Good luck.
Bev looks so cute in her new glasses! She is such a doll.
I hope you guys are able to come camping this weekend, it's not the same without you!
