Goodbye Efland, Hello Cary

Whew! Sorry for the delay. Moving with a 5 year old, 3 year old, and 5 month old was a bit crazy to say the least. Hasn't left me with much time to keep you updated! We are here now-- adjusting to life in Cary, NC and loving it. We're in a great location---minutes to Target, Kohls, Old Navy...all the important places. Besides the stores we have parks everywhere and miles of walking trails all around us. We couldn't have picked a better location. Rachel's school is only 5 minutes from here and there are tons of kids to get to know and play with in our neighborhood. Here is what we've been up to!

A Day in the Life of Rachel.....

Go Salem Salamanders! That's what I am now----a big kindergartner at Salem Elementary. The day came very quickly and I did it. I hopped on the bus and away I went. Mommy tried not to show it but I could tell she was sad and a bit nervous about me climbing onto a bus where I didn't know anyone. It's cool mom, Miss Linda the bus driver got me to school safely and as you know I'm having a great time.....except for the day I cried in music class because I didn't want to sing. School is great, we eat lunch in a cafeteria and have recess. I was a little concerned this morning because I hadn't learned to read yet but mommy assured me that they would teach me and it would take AT LEAST until next week : )

Here we go....congratulations Rachel!



So brave!! Can you see me?

A day in the life of Jacob....

She's in school, she's in school!! Ok, in all fairness, I miss my sister a bunch but it is nice to get the run of the house for once. Mom and I have been busy exploring our new area. We've found lots of parks and walking trails. I love seeing Rachel get on the bus in the morning (because the bus is cool, not because she's leaving....honest). We have a lot to talk about when she gets home. She even told me about the boy on the bus making "foo foo" sounds with his armpit.....man I can't wait for school.

Ok, so maybe I'm a little too big for this thing...you were right mom

Swimming with Daddy at our neighborhood pool!

What is Jacob doing? Nothing, just sitting in Andrew's Bumbo seat.....with gardening gloves on....and his bike helmet

A day in the life of Andrew.......

Wake up....eat.....play.....eat.....sleep.....eat.....watch my brother play trucks....eat.....you get the picture right? I'm 5.5 months old and doing great! I absolutely love to be outside (except for those pesky mosquitos). I've rolled over a few times, I'm really trying to get to those little bitty legos my brother and sister play with. I'm sure Jacob will bring me one if I smile at him enough! I've been experimenting with new tastes as you'll seen in the pictures below. I'm not too keen on anything yet....all I know is the Beef Stroganoff mom made for dinner the other night looked a whole lot better than the riff raff she's feeding me.......
