Beach Day





A few weeks ago we actually had some sun! We took complete advantage and went to the beach for a few. The wind picked up shortly thereafter, but it was still nice. Got to watch some crabbing boats off shore as well.

Backyard Adventures







Greatest part about our backyard...it connects to a wildlife refuge!! We took the kids on an adventure one day...the kids were "fighting off the enemy" with their nerf guns while having bull elk run 10 feet away from us! The picture of the bull elk was literally 10 feet away from the girls...scared them to death!

New House




This blog is a little late (we've been in our home for 4 weeks now!) but better late than never, right?!
The moving day was crazy busy. Got the Uhaul at 10am, went to my moms house to get my stuff, stopped off at our friends storage unit to get a refridgerator, washer and dryer, moved on to Greg's apartment and stopped at his ex wife's house to get the last of his stuff there (only took him 2 years to get it!) and finally ended up at our new home at 4:30pm. Off to unloading the Uhaul! Let me tell you, when you have to move basically 3 places into a 4 story home...it takes all of the energy out of ya! I was burnt out by the time we got to our new house. Finally finished around 7pm and that is because I was done and told Greg and his friend Jason that we were just going to throw everything that was left into the garage and call it a day. I still had beds to put together and make so all of us could sleep. Mind you, we decided that it would be best to have his three kids there that night so they could experience the first night in the house with us, so I literally had to put ALL of the beds together! Luckily, Greg's parents offered to go get pizza for us to have for dinner that night (one of themany perks of having them live right down the street part time!)
We are all settled in now. Even have the garage unpacked. We get this kids 3-4 days a week now, which is the best part. Trying to keep up with cleaning the house, laundry, 4 kids, dishes, etc is a balancing act for me right now while working full time, but I am sure I will get the hang of it soon.
