Making himself at home.

Jett, the newest little addition to our family seems to be making himself right at home here!!! We're loving him to death...even when he chews on our shoes...NOT!! We've found he does really well with boundaries and being on the floor in our entry room is just not allowed anymore. He adjusted really well to being here only whimpering for about an hour the first night. The girls have even adjusted to getting up an hour earlier for school so they can take him outside to wear off some of his morning energy before they leave for school. I'm even adjusting to the fact that I have to think about how long he can be in his kennel before he NEEDS to be let out while the girls are at school!!! I'm used to just having Neo roam the yard!!!

A couple weeks ago, Chad and I decided to put our acreage up for sale - partly because we're at a point that we either move or we put a lot of money in to it and we'd much rather put that money in to building a home because we may not see the return in this house. The other part of that is that we know we won't live in this house forever - if we were, we wouldn't even hesitate to make this the home that we REALLY want. We know we will move to the farm, or closer to the farm, at some point and now looks to be a good time to be trying to sell with new families moving to town and for us, who are in NO hurry to sell, we can be patient and wait for the offer we'd really like. The work has started (for the WHOLE family) to keep the house clean now that we are starting to have people going through our house for showings. I don't miss this headache at all and am really dreading trying to keep our house this clean so we're ready for that last minute call to show the house. Chad and I continue to discuss what our plan will be IF our house sells and what the next step will be for our family as there are a lot of unknowns yet.

We are winding down to the last month of school and all 3 of our kids have learned SO much this year!!! I'm so excited to spend the summer with the kids now that we have all day to do things and don't need to fit in naps. There's bound to be plenty of memories made and pictures to take.
