We are in a good routine now. I am so happy to have our new home! The boys and Emma are adjusting very well. Every now and then, Jake will say he wants to go play with Miranda (our old neighbor) and I will have to remind him that we moved and Miranda will have to come visit us to play. Poor kid, so much change for such a little mind!
We had a great Memorial Day. We packed up on Friday and headed to the mountains in Alabama to go camping! Yes, Alabama has some beautiful state parks. The one we went to this weekend just happened to be 10 minutes from Matt's parents house in Huntsville. Matt's parents have a camper and we stayed there all weekend. Matt's parents were there as well as Joel and Martha Ann (Matt's bro and his wife). We had a blast. The boys roasted marshmellows and hot dogs. We brought their bikes and so they rode alot. On Saturday, we went to a wonderful park where the boys played and we hiked some there too. It was a beautiful weekend. The weather was perfect. The temps were in the 80's but up in the mountains were more like high 60's low 70's. On Saturday night we cooked chicken fajitas on the open fire with some of Keith and Sherry's camping gadgets. They are camping gurus so they have all this cool camping equipment. Sherry even made homemade peach cobbler over the fire in a dutch oven. One morning for breakfast she made a wonderful breakfast casserole. Just like home!
The boys had a wonderful time and made lots of great memories. That's what it is all about!
Will had a ball tournament tonight. He is really getting the hang of the game. He is making all kinds of friends and just having lots of fun. Paige and Mia came to see him tonight. Mia and Emma had fun hanging out on the blanket. Jake played the entire time with two little friends he has made during the season. Nothing like a cool spring night watching a baseball game. I love it!
Well, I better go. It is time for the nightly ritual Matt and I have....grape juice. Call us crazy, but we drink it every night and watch our favorite shows!
See ya!
