With the closing on our condo approaching very quickly, Kelly and I have finally made some decisions on our "temp." home for 4 weeks. I will be taking Kaitlynn & Willa to Greenville - we'll be staying with my mom, and Kelly will be bouncing around and staying with various people during the work week. Thankfully, all of us will be able to spend the weekends together in Greenville, Atlanta, and Hayesville! It'll be tough not being together during the week, but these 4 weeks of transition will be well worth it once we're moved into our new home!
With that being said..... I spent a lot of time on the phone getting quotes on moving companies, etc., Kaitlynn-Willa-and myself spent a lot of time outside Monday & Tuesday before the rain settled in, and the remainder of the week was spent inside packing & running much needed errands!
My mom came into town Friday morning to spend the weekend with us! We spent some time up at the new house looking around at the changes that have been made over this past week! Also, she stayed at our condo with Kaitlynn and Willa Friday night-Saturday afternoon while Kelly & I got away for the night for some much needed time away together! It was wonderful! Once we made it home, my brother - Mark & his wife, Bridgette came by the house with Elizabeth.
Updates: porch columns & shutters have been added!
Kitchen cabinets are in! Waiting on the granite :-)
My favorite part - the stone fireplace in the family room
Our gorgeous bathroom - the best part.... a double-head shower :-)
Trying to keep Kaitlynn up after the trip up to the house......
Heading out for our 1st night away! We spent the evening dining at BluePointe in Buckhead, dancing the night away & enjoying a quiet nights sleep at the InterContinental Hotel in Buckhead - before our amazing breakfast & marriage conference with Barrett & Jenifer Johnson. We had a great time and we're looking forward to our next getaway in the very near future :-)
BFF's
Just realized - in 2 days, Elizabeth will be 8 months & in 5 days Kaitlynn will be 7 months!

All of our family from both sides came into town Saturday evening - everyone staying at various places! We participated in the parent dedication at our church on Sunday morning. Ever since Kelly and I met, dated, & were married, one of our biggest agreements was how we'd want to raise our children. Our main concern was to raise our children in a godly home. When the dedication services came around for spring, we jumped in and signed up pretty quick! The service was very memorable for both of us and our families as well. We're so blessed to have wonderful christian parents as great examples in our lives as we grow as adults & parents ourselves. We're quite lucky to have loving siblings, and precious nieces & nephews as well :-)

Kaitlynn's life verse from Jeremiah 1:5
"Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you.
Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you:
A prophet to the nations— that's what I had in mind for you."
Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you:
A prophet to the nations— that's what I had in mind for you."
And.....those that were able to come to lunch at Atkins Park Tavern:
