Palmer family update!

So, life has been a bit crazy since our last blog entry. Sully started school, Ansley is now in a big girl car seat which has been an adjustment for me to not have the handy carrier anymore, and the biggest news is that we sold our house and bought a new one! I didn't even have time to get a blog up to say we decided to put our house up on the market...our house sold in 26 hours! We then made an offer on the house we love and were the best offer on it, so now we move into our new house on the 30th of September! Oh my goodness...last weekend was crazy and very exciting! It happened so fast! We thought it would take a few months to sell our house and that we would wait to put an offer down on a house till we were under contract here...since we sold so fast we went ahead and put our offer on the house we loved, so it all worked out! So fun. Here is a picture of the new house. We are SO excited!

The house is only 3.5 miles from our house now and it is in a really fun neighorhood with tons of tennis courts, 2 pools with slides and fountains, multiple playgrounds with soccer fields and a dog park. So, we are super excited and can't wait to make the place our own. Sully has already picked out his room! And there is a tree house in the back, so Sully is super excited to play in there.

Here are some other fun pictures of the kids over the past few weeks...

Sully has become quite the swimmer. I think, but don't hold me to this, that if we work hard at the Y over the winter, that I can get him to swim a lap at one of my swim meets next summer for summer league...that would be so fun for me! :)

Sully was going under to get a diving ring.
We went to KY for Labor Day weekend. Ansley met Great Grandma Helen Louise for the first time! Of course, Ansley loved her!

We had a fun visit with Sara and Steven at UK and we walked all around campus. It was weird to be there with Sully and Ansley. Who knew when I was walking to class all those times that I would have a sweet Sully and Ansley. So fun!

Sully had a super fun afternoon with Sara and Steven!

Grancie (Pwetty) and Pip had a spend the night party with Sully and Ansley last weekend. Sully's favorite is picking veggies from Pip's garden.

Hi Ansley!
Pool time!

The weather has been quite nice here lately, so we have spent many afternoons in the backyard playing play-doh and hanging out with the dogs. Ansley is just starting to notice the dogs and loves to sit and watch them run around with Sully.
Peek a boo!
Sully loves his play doh!


Enjoy the pictures!
