Newest Home Owners

 My brother and Amanda bought a house!! After a long search, several offers, some goodbyes to other houses and a lot of perseverance, Jon and Amanda finally got a house! Their new house is just perfect for them! It is in Northeast Portland, has the greatest yard and a huge garage that my brother just loves! Leila and I traveled south in July to help the two of them move. Leila was a trooper! Moving isn't that cool for a kiddo. Luckily, we happened to be blessed with two hot days of sunshine. Uncle Jonny hooked up the sprinkler in the new front yard. Leila spent hours both days christening the yard with its first sprinkler adventures...while the rest of worked up a sweat lugging furniture and boxes. Ah, to be a kid!


 Leila paused long enough for a picture in front of the house.
 Mom worked on putting all the kitchen stuff away. This kitchen will look completely different by the end of the summer. Jon and Amanda have already gutted it and are rebuilding every part. I can't wait to see it!
Daniel and Jojo also came to help move, so that night Jonny BBQed for everyone. The girls, of course, spent most of the time before and after dinner in the sprinkler. 

The neighbor's cat LOVED Leila.
