Packing and Boxes Oh My!
Words can not express how thankful I am that Al's company paid to have our stuff packed for us! The stress of boxes would have been too much for Annalise- Addie and Alden are pros at this- and Asher is just happy as long as reassure him the kayaks are being packed! We left for school Wednesday morning and our house was just the same. We come home 9hrs later and it is all boxed up! We all slept our final night in the house- and went to school Thursday morning. When we came home- everything was on the truck. 36hrs and everything was done!

Memorial Day Weekend- aka Final Weekend in VA
It is hard to believe but the time to actual move to Georgia was finally here! We spent it enjoying our friends- what a perfect way to celebrate our time in VA!

Our good friends, the Muncy's had us over for dinner- we had a blast!
And there were lots of other good-byes with our amazing neighbors and Community Group!
Our life was abundantly blessed with friends in Virginia- we look forward to making friendships in Georgia. We are thankful for our Virginia friendships that will continue thanks to the joys of technology- and hope lots of people come to visit!
Six!
Somehow Annalise is now SIX! She is SUPER excited and totally "gets" how special a birthday can be! We celebrated all week and she loved every single second of it!

Operation Georgia Peach
I have the best friends- hands-down! Al told me that I would need to change out of my school clothes on Friday- that was it! I had no idea what was planned- maybe a special date night?? Nope! My friends swooped in and whisked me away for an evening of fun! Thank you friends!!
Welcome, Midlo
We welcomed Chloe-Midlo (going by mostly Midlo these days), into our home! The timing wasn't what we envisioned, but when I got the email at school about a family who desperate needed a new home for their almost 2yr old, house-trained, good-with-kids, beagle, I knew she was meant to be ours! She loves the kids and keeps us on our toes- little toys are slowly disappearing as she chews on anything left on the floor. She was also really hurt by our neighbors dog right before we moved- the Great Dane thought she was a chew toy... Thankfully she is now fine and fully up to mischief!
Spring Fling Fun
Mr. Goose (our children and youth leader) planned a food fight and included the little kids- they were SO excited and are stills talking about it!
We welcomed a new nephew into the family in mid-April- Daniel!! We celebrated by eating ice cream- his parents approved!!
We also celebrated excellent report cards by having Donuts!
Adeline and Alden have been participating in Running Club all year- so we were all excited when the Run the Rocks Race arrived! Thankfully Al was not stuck in California this year and could run with the kiddos without having to be awake all night driving home! I even walked it- pushing the double stroller! The rain, and the fact that the school had been vandalized the night before, the race was lots of fun!
