Shutterbug

The NEEEEEEEEEWWWW Lighting and Mater shirt. He is quite pleased with it. (He is saying "cheese", which is what he says whenever we point the camera at him. Therefore, he is rarely smiling in pictures and more often than not has a goofy expression).

The guitar is going to Goodwill, hence the reason he is allowed to play with it.

Ethan wearing one of Jeremiah's flannel shirts. What a charmer:)

Our solid little Hans, who is growing very quickly.

Moving.

This picture says it all. Boxes have become a standard feature in our life. The question is, for how long??  I don't like boxes. I like being settled. Boxes are equivalent to being un-settled. I will have a party when the last box is unpacked. Maybe we'll have some Vodka or burn the boxes or something. 

We really are moving. Yippee!! And yet, sigh, sniff, sniff. It is the beginning of the "lasts". There is so much here and so many people that we really, really like. We are going to miss all the good and pleasant people and places we have learned to know here.

 

Welcome

I have taken the plunge and started a blog, as is obvious if you are reading this! This will be the best place to keep up with us as we move on to new things. I will try to keep it up to date with photos and stories for all of our friends and family. 

Easter

This year we chose to stay home for Easter. All went well. We had a good time with friends and just hanging out at home as a family. We did an Easter egg hunt for Ethan. He loved it! The eggs were a big hit. He played with them for a week! I was finding eggs EVERYWHERE in the house as he made is own egg hunts.

Ode to a Camellia

This spring I have thoroughly enjoyed my camellia japonica tree. I fell in love with camellia trees at Longwood Gardens. Ever since I have dreamed of having my own tree. I was thrilled when we moved south and I found that they grow very well here.  Last spring Jeremiah bought me one for Mother's Day and we nurtured it over the past year. Now it is blooming and I am enjoying every minute of it, seeing as we will be moving north where camellias do not grow.
