Moving Back

The last month has been a bit wild as we have found out that we are going to be moving back to Texas. We are excited about this change as we have always hoped that at some point we can move back home. However, we wouldn't have traded being in Richmond for the world. It has been a wonderful 5 years (6 for Mike) and has truly made us form "our family". We also have loved our home, neighborhood, friends, and the weather and scenery here. For anyone who ever travels here in the future, you will love it. Our house is on the market and we only pray that someone will love it as much as we have and that they will make this choice sooner rather than months from now :). I have had the joyous opportunity to stay at home with Kate though since we found out we were moving shortly before school started and we chose for me not to return. Every morning I wake up I am grateful for the time I have with her again. However, it is a bit hard having to constantly pick up after a 2 year old and scruffy old Tucker! We will be moving somewhere in the DFW metroplex and pray for guidance as to where that place may be. We are happy to finally share our news!

Happy Birthday Kate!

It was a happy, happy day for Kate! Hard to believe she has turned 2! We celebrated with a birthday breakfast, a trip to Maymont with her friend Ellie, her first ice cream cone, and a very fun party with friends! Kate LOVED her birthday and asked to be sung to two times! :)

Animals Animals

We went to Maymont yesterday, a wonderful nature reserve right around the corner from us. She loved seeing the sheep, deer, teddy bears (black bears), eagles, owls and most of all the peacock. She was fascinated with him and then equally terrified as he chased after us trying to get away from the crowd! She is an animal lover and has continued to talk about the peacock and the pictures we took of him. I can't get her to smile normally at the camera, she just gives me her silly face, oh well, it is very funny :).
