The Harkers In Minnesota

At the beginning of this month, July 2-7, we got to have Cameron's sister, Cheryl, and three of her kids, Katie, Brooke, and Taylor, come visit.  They were dying to meet little Landon, and so they made the trip out here to do just that, and of course, see the rest of us while they were at it!  ;)

We were so bummed, because they missed us being in our house by just a few days.  It would have been so nice to have them here when we were in the house so that we could have some more space, plus it is just fun to be in the new house, right?  They were great sports, though, about crashing with us in our apartment, and they were SO easy to have, that you couldn't even tell that we had 4 extra people in our apartment!

While they were here, they got TONS of snuggle time with Landon, and Miley was completely entertained.  I think I was the most spoiled while they were here, because I had so much help with the kids!  Miley was in heaven with all of her older cousins around, and loved being the center of attention with Landon.

We managed to squeeze in a few fun things while they were here...on the 4th of July we were able to take in a Twins game against Tampa Bay...

We did lots of swimming (at the apartment, and at the community center).

We took some walks and went to a park to play.

The girls also managed to do some shopping, and Cameron got to hit some baseballs around with Taylor.

We stayed up LATE every night eating Oreos (a favorite of theirs, since they claim that the American ones are WAY better than the Canadian ones) and playing Rage.

As always, it was not enough time with them, and we are still missing them every day!  We loved having them, and now are just trying to think of reasons why they need to come back.  They must come stay at the new house, no?  :)

Thanks Harkers for taking the time out of your BUSY summer schedule to come see us! 

I Know, I Know...

...I seriously need to update on, like, the WHOLE month of July!

It's been a fun one.

We have had lots of visitors, moved into our house, and are settling in.

I am going to get around to it soon, but for now there is still a little bit of unpacking to do, landscaping to be completed, a neighborhood to explore, a driveway to be colored on with chalk, and dance parties to be had in all of our new space...

You understand, right?  :)

House - Day 89

We had our pre-walk through at the house today, to see if there were any issues that needed to be addressed before our final walk through.  We were mostly excited to just be able to see things looking really done, now that the carpet is in.  There were some workers there, touching up paint, and doing our sidewalk from the driveway to our front porch, so stuff was getting done. 

Don't mind all the dust and dirt in all the pictures...as you can imagine, there still needs to be some major cleaning done!

We are so, so close!  10 more days!

Don't worry...our columns are going to be painted.  :)
