Evening Grilling With Kids Playing Outside

Happy to finally have his charcoal grill up and ready!

Then this, standing by our front door, our front patio looking to the right, and the kids are right there in the far corner of the basket ball court riding their bikes. Playing, running around, just being able to go outside, and with supervision needed, a must for kids under a certain age at all times living on base, but it's now so easy! How we have missed this! Being able to just step outside, having all this space for the kids to run around, absolutely wonderful! 

They had a great time outside in the sunset, while waiting for the food to be done on the grill.

Chicken for me...

First good meal in the new house!

Moving Day!

I'm so behind, we already have October, but still, I want to document the move and everything, so even if it's late, here are some pictures from our Moving day in August. We had booked a partial move, where they were going to be moving all furniture, and some boxes that I had packed up before. A lot of things we packed and moved over the day prior, as we needed to clear some space so that the movers could move out the furniture, and take some apart.

They arrived at 9am, and got to it right away, we were lucky and it didn't rain, even if it was lingering in the air all morning!

Moved down with the elevator, to be moved over into the trucks.

Their small truck was soon packed full, especially with the sofa.

Four little ones hanging around waiting! Cassie was watching Benjamin and Isabella while we drove over to the new house to direct the movers and get everything into the house. As there was absolutely nothing to do and to stay out of the movers way, books and electronics were the best choice of entertainment. Rusty we moved over the next morning when things were put in order at the new house.

Standing on my new front step watching the guys unload. 

And to direct the movers to where to put everything that they are bringing into the house.

Bens' furniture put into his room.

Master bedroom, one dresser next to the window completed the furniture that could fit in there.

Isabella's furniture.

Cassandra's furniture.

Blue chair has turned out to be too large and taking up to much space, so we will take it back to the warehouse and return it.

Finally, after the movers left, we went to go and get the kids, loaded up the cars at the same time ofcourse, and the kids got to hold onto the table lamps in the car, so that they wouldn't brake. So much easier than to have to pack down everything in boxes. Worked fine, but looks a bit funny on the picture infront of the new house, they all are holding up lamps...:)

Later the same evening playing, getting more toys and stuff out.

Ben ready to go to bed in HIS new room! 

Tired boy, it was a long and exciting day with a lot of waiting around for the kids.

Our master bedroom.

Isabella's room coming together, she was so happy to have her own space.

Cassie got busy in her room, unpacking and getting organized.

Last Night In Old House

I was just going through the pictures from the move, and found these from the last night in the apartment. The last time for the twins to have to share bedroom. Last sleep, early the next morning we had to wake up and pack up all the bedding, everything else was pretty much ready to get moved by the moving company that was coming at 9am the next morning. 

New Outdoor Furniture & Grill

About a week or so after we moved in, we bought outdoor furniture. Chris put it all together one afternoon, and we were able to grill out with the new charcoal grill and enjoy the meal with sitting outside enjoying both meal and new furniture.

The hamburgers tastes amazing from the charcoal grill. Living in the tower we were only allowed to have gas grill on the balcony. Chris has missed charcoal grilling very much! 

(We still have the gas grill too, for fast grilling...)

An outdoor rug is still missing!
