Out Geocaching!

We hope everyone had a pleasant Memorial Day Weekend; the weather certainly was very nice, at least in our parts. We where able to get some gardening done and get our yard cleaned up a bit, planted some bushes and spend a day out geocaching and gather the first set of caches here in our new little home town. The kids enjoyed it a great deal.

It was simply nice to have a bit of down time, an extended weekend after working straight thru for a couple of weeks, which I then finished with a morning at the Spa with my sister lol….
The kids are very much looking forward to summer break, I wish we could take some of that time off as well but hey …….. We got responsibilities right lol… Steven will start driver’s education in a couple of weeks and Samuel has soccer starting.

Sarah had her speech and language evaluation and will after summer break be getting some assistance thru the school system as we seem to have come to a halt somehow and it seems we are all getting a bit frustrated she was doing so well, but it may just be too much to fast, she certainly did have an eventful first year home.

This weekend we will meet cousin Nathan and spend the morning at a Farm with some other families from the Fox Valley, they are very much looking forward to that.

New pictures have to wait till I find the USB cord for the camera…
Till then……….. Blessings

Whats New...

The weeks just seem to fly by these days….. Two weeks gone by fast we took a trip, one final trip to the old house to get the garage emptied, finally no more moving trucks. Now we just have to get it all organized at the new house…….

We met with our Friends Ron, Beth & sweet Hope while in Somerset for Dinner and as always had a fabulous time. The kids get along so well….. Sam simply adores hope, there is something about the two of them he can just make her giggle and laugh…..it is very cute. And though we don’t get to see them often it seems as thought the kids remember each other very well…. Hopefully we can meet up soon for a Day of Geocaching somewhere between here and there :-)

Slowly but surely we are getting one box after the other unpacked in the house, things at least on the main floor get somewhat organized, Steven loves the fact that for now he has the whole lower level to himself amongst the dogs and the cat and Samuel and Sarah love the being able to just run outside in the big yard and explore.
We found that we have a variety of wild life around the house as well; we can see deer out in the field in front of the house every night, we see there are a couple of wild cats around, we seen a hawk fly over the house, we have lots of birds in the yard, some cardinals, cranes out in the field and here and there a turkey walks thru the yard….. We just love it the kids tremendously enjoy it, next up is getting the Garden outside overhauled and planted.

We had a nice Mother’s Day weekend, the kids got me a Lilac Bush since I had to leave mine behind at the old house and Garry surprised me with a little Shorkie. She is just a peanut, very cute very funny and best of all gets along with the other dogs and the cat just fine.
