It's a cute little house, really. The operative word being "little". It is about 1200 square feet total, and it is what we will call home beginning on June 12. The house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a tiny kitchen, a small living room, a one car garage, a big deck, and an unfinished basement room. When we get settled, I will send out our new contact information.

Our new home in Tennessee
This week I spent a few days in Clarksville, Tennessee looking for a place to live. And this is it!

Triple Twist Flippy Buns
I found a really neat blog one day. It is called Adopt A 'Do and has tons of fun hairstyles for girls. I have been experimenting with different hairstyles for Sammy and today I tried a new one. Take a look...
If you're interested in checking out the website, it is one of the sites listed on the right side of my blog. The lady who keeps the blog includes both written directions with pictures as well as video tutorials. I don't love everything she posts there, but every once in a while I come across a really fun idea.

Sammy's Orange Belt Test
Today Sammy tested for her orange belt in tae-kwon-do. She has been spending Friday afternoons training with Mina Haddad ever since we returned from England.
She has been so excited about her upcoming test. She did such a great job today. Take a look at some of the pictures of her in action...
As part of her test, Sammy had to do two forms. These are combinations of hand techniques, stances, punches and kicks done in a specific order. Watch the video below to see her do the orange belt form.
I love this picture of Mina helping Sammy tie on her new orange belt. These two have really had a special relationship through the years. We are going to miss Mina so much!
The newest orange belt (Sammy) with her friend and assistant (Mina) and her instructor (Mr. Scott). 
I cannot put into words how proud I am of Sammy. At one point during her test, Sammy made a mistake. When Mr. Scott corrected her, I could tell she was upset and that it kind of threw her off. I was worried that she was going to fall apart and not be able to complete her test. But even though she was nervous and a little flustered, she got refocused and did an excellent job.
Mother's Day Photo Shoot
My Mother's Day gift from the kids this year was to cooperate for a photo shoot this afternoon. I took a ton of pictures but have only shared a few. These ones turned out cute despite the less than perfect lighting conditions.
It was fun driving around town and finding interesting places to take pictures. The kids were cheerful and cooperative. I don't know if any of these will end up on the wall, but they will certainly remind me of a pleasant afternoon spent with the kids.
