Month of June

June was busy with lots of house work to prep the house for the market. Between all of that, we had some fun playing outside and swimming.

Tanner went to what we thought would be his last post-op appointment from his surgery last October. He will need another surgery this year. At the last post-op back in December, the doctor wasn't sure if the surgery would be needed or not. We were hopeful but also happy to have a good doctor that we trust. Surgery is scheduled for the week after we move as Joseph is taking some time off anyways. Now my hope is that Gemma doesn't need surgery! Or if she does, we can do it yet this year as our deductibles are met.

He's mastering the "selfie" aspect.

 

We listed our house this month. It seemed like an impossible task to keep the house clean all the time but it wasn't terrible. I've learned how much the kids are really capable of in terms of cleaning and picking up. With cleaning, I allow the kids to listen to Pandora Disney channel. Often, they stop cleaning and dance a little.

We found our house! We looked at several homes and then this one popped up on the market. We looked at it right away and loved it. We move in two weeks (CRAZY)! It has five bedrooms, an office for me to work from home in, and a good size backyard. It's part of a HOA that has a pool, playgrounds, basketball courts, etc. We are on a cul-de-sac with the path to the park at the end of our street. It met almost all of our criteria so I was happy. We're looking forward to moving and making the house become our home.

 
Ashton swam on her own for the first time! I was really surprised she did it as she tends to be fairly fearful of water. But she finally got the courage to do it. As the weeks go by, she's getting more brave with swimming. We have to keep reminding her to wait until a parent is near her to try swimming on her own.
