it's officially our home now!!!

officially
why?

because we've had out-of-town guests

(my dad all week and my brother and his family on Saturday night)

AND

because we've hosted our first BBQ

13 adults and 9 little girls under the age of 5.

Pictures?

Nope.

We were busy enjoying the company and amazing FOOD (thanks Dad!)

Ahhhhhh....

I love it that sharing 'our' home is what makes it officially 'our' home

really LOVE it.

(yes, my brother is tall.

we were all standing on the same step.

my 'little' brother is 6'6", I'm 5'8".

it's mirrored in the kids too:

his four year old is the same height/size as my five year old and

his three year olds are the same height as my four year old...to be honest, they may be a little taller?

Samantha is an averaged sized little peanut in a family of mammothly tall kids!)
