The past few weeks--week 11 - 15

Week 11:  The Move
This picture happened actually before our move (about a week before). We got our maps out and looked at the places that we have lived. We looked at a map of the US and searched for Tennessee and tried to pinpoint where we would be living next. I don't think the children were too excited about going away, even though I tried to tell them about all the new friends that they will meet Isabella was sad for the friend she would miss, and Aiden, I'm not really sure about Aiden, but he wasn't looking to happy either. But the move happened, and it was very exciting to go to our new home.
Sometime after the move, the kids completely tired fell asleep on my bed. 

We got our furniture just the day after our closing day. It was really hard to decide were everything should go. All I can remember from those first few days is being completely stressed out, and tired.

Week 12: The new house
As for the house, it was messy, clutter that was all I saw everywhere I looked
there were boxes everywhere even a couple of weeks after we moved in

Aiden was set on fishing
 On that first week we did a lot of backyard discoveries. I think it was too stressful to be in the house so we spent a lot of time walking to the creek and looking at our trees.

I'm coming up the path, back then I was not too aware of the toad (more to come on toads)
there are a lot of trees and tree stumps
The former owners said they cut 15 to 20 trees, really I can't imagine where those trees where, as it is now there is not too much treeless spaces.
There was also time for our kitty, of course
Week 13: My Pear tree.
Now this week separations are very loose since in reality I have no idea exactly which week it was when I took those pictures, what is for sure is that they happened between the 11 and the 15th week.
I'm extremely excited about planting my pear tree. I grew it from a seed out of a pear I ate
Jared was a little reluctant but everybody had to have a picture with my pear tree
Week 14: Our trip to the zoo
yes, I know I look crazy, it happens, especially on hot days with lots of walking invoved


Week 15: Finally, this past week, not much (exciting) happened this last week, except last night when we saw a moon moth or luna moth as the kids call it
an amazing looking moth, and huge!

It was alive, just resting, Bella took the opportunity to get close so I could snap this pix
