Closure

Today was closing day. It was a day full of mixed emotions.

As I am pondering God's goodness through this process, I am absolutely overwhelmed by His faithfulness and provision in our lives. Every single step of the process has been flawless. And even though there were definitely days filled with the chaos of chasing after the kids, wiping down hands and cleaning up spills and trying to coordinate around showings, it has proven to be worth it. Not only is closing finalized but the buyer is allowing us to lease the house until we leave. And with baby Kelton due in a short three and a half weeks, I am so, SO grateful!

We have had lots of memories here that will never be forgotten. I hope this house is as much of a blessing to her as it was to us!

This picture of Avery was taken shortly after we moved in. It's hard to believe how much has changed in the past three years.

So now... in eight weeks we move forward to a new house we will call home and we look forward to all the new memories and adventures we will have there. 

A Day in San Francisco

San Francisco is such an amazing city. Everything about it, from the view of the Golden Gate Bridge over the bay, to the way the houses are stacked everywhere on extremely steep streets and the beautiful skyline. It's just remarkable!

We had a great day with my family touring around Ghiradelli square, riding the cable car, walking around Fisherman's Wharf and watching the sea lions at Pier 39. The kids' favorite part was by far the ride on the cable car. I remember going to the city when I was little and it was so fun to experience it all over again with Avery and Graysen.

Ben took Graysen for a little "man time" and toured a submarine. He loved it!

My beautiful sister.

So blessed to have such a wonderful mom and dad. This picture makes me miss them!

The awesome looking bread at Fisherman's Wharf. 

A little lunch craziness!

Grandpa's 85th Birthday!

What an incredible experience to be able to attend your Grandfather's 85th birthday party! He is an incredible man, who has lived an incredible life serving the Lord and making an impact in this world. We are a very blessed generation because of the choices he made!

We were also lucky enough to spend another Easter Sunday with them! Since Avery has been born, we have spent three of her five Easters with them. Dad, Mom, Amanda and Melissa all were able to fly down and be there as well, and it was so good to see them!

Graysen checkin' out the lizards!

Graysen loved riding his bike along with Grandpa and my cousin, Jeremy.
