fireferks

recapping July fourth...

We kept him up well past his bedtime so that he could watch the "fireferks". He was so excited ~ until our little small town show began.

"nooooo fireferks....."

fun times in tight quarters

Bryan's sister, husband, and 2 boys (the same ages as ours) stayed with his parents the same time we did. We wondered if we would all still like each other at the end of the week ~ tight quarters, yes. babies on sleep strike, oh yes. so much fun that we didn't want to leave and therefore kept prolonging our stay day by day for a week... (apologetically to them all?) yes!

so here we are~

back in the South.

if you remember in my post about moving, i was a little overwhelmed about moving in 4 weeks. little did i know at the time that i would actually be packing to leave the very next day.

my uncle passed away the day after i wrote, and as i was planning for the boys and i to go to the funeral we decided that it may be best for us to just stay. it usually takes 2 days for me to just get all of us packed for a short trip. but somehow (it's all a bit of a blur now...though i think i have some friends to thank) we managed to do that plus pack the entire house in the same amount of time.

fast forward a month (past a cancelled flight, a circus of a flight - with connections - with the boys and i, 2 weeks with bryan's family, 2 weeks with my family).....we are finally settling into our home.

and it is wonderful.

there is so much that I want to post about both our time in NY and here.....

i think i will just start throwing pictures up. prepare for an onslaught.

maybe.

hanging real pictures on my real walls may take precedence. we shall see.

the only promise i can make is that they will be much, much nicer than this one~
