Home, sweet home

So we're going with "home, sweet home" as the theme of this post, because right now, the definition of "home" is in a state of rapid revision for us. A couple of weeks ago, we went "home" to see Grandpa and Grandma Heemstra in Chicago, and Evan had a ton of fun drinking juice boxes with Grandma and helping his Dad and Grandpa replace sprinkler heads in the yard.


While we were there, the closing date for our new home in Salt Lake City came and went without any problems, so we very unceremoniously became home owners. Our house hunting trip was a bit of a whirlwind as we only had about 7 hours to look at houses before making a decision, but I think we've found one that will be great for our family. We loved the interior, but more importantly for Evan, we have a nice backyard that he can play in, which will be awesome since Evan LOVES to be outside.

Here are some pictures from the MLS listing. The cool treehouse looking thing is actually in the neighbors back yard, so Evan will have to make friends with them :)


In just 6 short days we'll be turning the car westward and heading out to Utah. Living in Boston has not been without its challenges, but it is an understatement to say that God has blessed us richly with a wonderful church home and dear friends whom we will miss very much.

I'm hoping to keep our camera from being packed by the movers, so stay tuned for photos from the road . . .
