Test post

Forrest and I just got new phones and I am now able to take better photos with my phone and upload them directly to the blog from my phone.  I'll experiment with formatting over the next week and try some test posts. 

Here are some goofy faces:

Another big thank you to Gramps and Grandma for all the work you guys did on the house and yard.  We're so thankful for all the help we got from family this summer.  We'll try to get some good photos of the new house posted soon. 

Nana and Da Visit in July

Da, Theo, and Nana resting on the porch at the old house.  Huge thank you to Nana and Da for the incredible work that they did re-plastering and painting the 80 year old walls in our new home and otherwise getting the house in shape for us to move in on schedule at the end of July.  Thank you also to Uncle Cameron who came up three times this summer to help with painting.  We couldn't have done it without all your help.  We didn't get as many pictures as usual during these visits because everyone was so busy working hard.
