Saying Goodbye :(

It's done! We are officially Texans, well kinda...actually we are officially homeless! The house is sold, the move went smooth and we can't thank all of you that helped enough!!! We appreciate all of our friends and family so very much and never would have been able to pull off that massive packing task without you ALL! Thank you. We are going to miss you so VERY much and you have an open invitation to visit us in TX as soon as we have a home ;)

For the next few weeks we are staying with James' gracious brother JD and his wife Cassidy south of Ft. Worth, they have very lovingly opened their home to us.  We went and saw our house for the 1st time yesterday and the kiddo's and I LOVE it. Courtney is so excited about her room and mom is so excited about her kitchen and new bathroom! We are scheduled to close on Dec. 28th, right after Christmas. 

Tomorrow we are headed to James' Grandfather's house in Austin. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and take time out of your day to thank God for all the blessings in your life, I know I am grateful for so much! One of them being the sound of my children reunited, wrestling and giggling with their daddy this very moment! 

C & C with the worlds greatest neighbors! You can't be replaced!

Welcome to PA Uncle Charley, thanks for helping pack!

The Countdown is on!

Two weeks and counting...and then we will officially be homeless ;) James makes fun of me because my emotions for this move go from, as he says "happy, sad, happy, sad..." While I am very excited for the move and for our family to be together once again, there are MANY people and things about Indiana that I am going to miss dearly. We had to say goodbye to everyone at church yesterday and I was a blubbering MESS! 

We have bought a house! However, it won't be ready until after Christmas. So we will be wandering around aimlessly for the next month. HA j/k we have tons of family that will graciously be opening their homes to the Newton crew!

Last weekend was WONDERFUL, Uncle Joe and Aunt Sue gave Miss Courtney the best birthday gift she could have asked for...her DADDY! We picked him up at he airport on Friday night (a surprise to her) and Saturday was her 5th Birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. Which she loved tremendously. We got some surprise snow Sat. morning. We enjoyed trick-or-treating with our dear friends the Todd's and Kessler's on Monday, packing on tuesday, and back to TX for Daddy on Wed. Now it's up to me to pack up the rest of the house (prayers please ;) 

Love to all,
The Newtons
