We've been busy, but not necessarily doing anything blog-worthy. Jason's still working two jobs, and since we've moved WAY out here, he's been driving a lot. He's been working two days each week in Chesterfield, south of Richmond, and it takes him an hour and a half to get there. Next week, though, he goes back down to one day there and will pick up another day each week in Fredericksburg! Yay! He'll finally FINALLY be up to four days in this office!
We're still waiting on our original house. We've seen tons more, but still like this one the best, Greek column and all. It's only been 3 months since we made the offer on the short sale, but it has felt like much longer. We took Mom and Dad to peek in the backyard, and it made me feel good that they liked it. Sometimes you just need that outside confirmation. :) Our lender says we could close mid-June, but we were previously told end of April, mid-May, etc, so we're not holding our breath. It would be bad timing in June with the reunion, but we'd certainly make it work.
Here are the kids snuggling in bed with all their blankets, Mom made them all. Carson is especially attached to his blanket. He gets upset if his sisters pick it up.
Carson is getting big. He's been walking for about a month, and LOVES the freedom it gives him. I've had to be much more aware of when he's outside. I used to just put him outside on the patio and he'd stay there, pushing the toys around, but now that he walks he wanders everywhere.
He likes the goats a lot, but only when they're behind the fence. He's finally brave enough to feed them out of his hand.
The girls love living here. This picture is from over a month ago, when we first discovered the swamp on the property. It's a favorite spot of ours (although I did have a tick bite a few weeks ago, so we're very careful now to check for those...ewww).
We've been very involved with Addie's preschool. It's a co-op, so the parents do a lot of helping. I just love it, and Addie does too! We invited her entire class to our house, and eight of the other fourteen came, along with their siblings and moms! It was so fun to have them over, meet our goats, jump on the trampoline, and play in the swamp!
Her preschool goes on a lot of field trips. Here they are at the resevior, right after they caught tons and tons of frogs. Her preschool is awesome.
Addie LOVES BUGS! She always has quite the collection.
And this was from Thursday. Carson discovered HE LOVES MUD. It was so cute. He just kept going back and forth, sloshing around in it, sitting it in, throwing rocks into it, and just doing everything you'd expect from a boy. Fun times!
