Busy Busy

We feel like we have been running since our move! The last couple of weeks have been extremely busy.

My sister and brother-in-law got away for a weekend, and we kept their kids. So I had a 4 yr old, two 2 year olds, an 18 month old, and a 1 yr old to take care of for several days. Josh worked Friday and Saturday, so I mostly had them all to myself. And boy- did they keep me busy! And the funny part- the 1 yr old was the easiest one! The kids though had fun. We are so glad that the cousins get to grow up being close since we don't live so far away. They are going to be best buddies. And all of us are looking forward to watching them grow knowing one day they will be quite a group.








We got all 5 car seat in the car!!




 The following week Josh's grandfather passed away. He had been sick for quite some time so we knew it was coming. Josh traveled to West Virginia to be at the funeral.We drove to my parents on Wednesday after Josh got off work. I took Josh to the airport Thursday morning, then went back to my parents and got the kids and my mom, drove back home, worked Friday, then we drove back to my mom's, then picked Josh up on Saturday. We stayed at my parents that night. We are blessed to have them be so flexible and help us all the time. We were all worn out after a very busy week. One day we went on a walk which you can see everyone enjoyed:







We also started school last week! We are doing pre-k at home this year. I am excited to share what we are doing and will in another post. The kids are excited about school, and I think it is going to be a fun year.

Things don't look to slow down anytime soon, but we are excited about all the new opportunities we have in our new town.

Birthday Surprise

We have just been up to more of the same around here the last couple of weeks.

My mom's birthday is coming up, and so last week we drove over and surprised her and went to lunch. The girls and Jack went out to lunch, and my dad, grandpa, Gus, and my nephew went out to McDonald's. It's so great to be close now that we can just drive over for lunch. We all enjoyed it.






MiMi with all her grand-babies :)




We are continuing to learn our way around town and spend time with new friends. Most days we try to stay indoors most of the afternoon because it has been SOOOOO HOT here. Summer is not my favorite season, and I cannot wait for it to start cooling off. When I look at my phone and it is 107 degrees outside, I just try to limit opening the door and pretend that it isn't that hot!

A lot of new things are about to start for us, and we are excited about them. I will share them as we get started!

The kids have been growing a ton this summer! Jack jumped off the ground with both feet for the first time this week. And he has been talking up a storm. Maddie's language just continues to grow and get better every day. The kids are growing fast! I finally pulled out my camera and got some pictures of the kids. Love them so much
