Monday already

My blog post titles are so random. Yesterday after church, I headed over to my parents while Clay met some folks interested in buying our condo. Yes, we have it 'for sale by owner' and the first week the sign went up we have 3 couples wanting to buy it. At first I was sad, because I love my house and the location, but now I'm excited to see how and where the Lord leads us. We want to stay in the same area but buy a 3 bdrm house with a yard. So anyway, when I got to my parents, my dad was mowing the lawn but took time in the middle of his work to create a fun memory for Giselle- her first wagon ride! We played endlessly with this wooden wagon growing up. One of our best memories was playing 'little house on the prairie' and placing two wooden chairs on top of the wagon like a covered wagon. Yes, people fell off and got hurt but it was worth the adventure! Giselle loved being pulled around the house and later pushing it with my dad's help. Isn't her dress darling?! It is her sweet cousin Mea's old dress. If we sell our house and don't have a place to live right away we are going to stay at my parent's. I'm SO excited- hope that happens!
All that was missing on her wagon ride was her little cousin Brooklynn.
