Visit to NC and from Grandma and Grandpa

We took a weekend and went to Raleigh NC to visit Johns aunt and uncle. We spent the weekend with them, laughed and made some great memories. A few days later, my mom and dad came down for a week. We played outside, went to Monkey Joe's and Johnny Mike got his new glasses. We are enjoying the nice weather and being able to play outside with 60 degrees in March. Virginia is treating us well.

Getting ready to go down the slide at Monkey Joe's.

He is doing SO WELL! What a great smile he has!

LOVE HER!!!!

They did this for 2 hours, then crashed!

John and Dylan spent the afternoon launching themselves off the driveway, the helmets were needed!!!!

AWE! So Sweet! Love him!

Johns new glasses. Now he REALLY looks like his dad! SO CUTE!

Fun at the park with Aunt Deb and Uncle Phil.

Grant in his racing gear. John spent the day at the track with him.

Michael is probably going to NC State. Deb bought the kids shirts so we needed a photo!

Love you all and hope your days are happy!

Welcome to Virginia

Well, I haven't updated as much as I would like but I don't really know who all checks this thing anyway. In short, We moved out of our home in Michigan, spent Christmas at our parents houses and then moved to Virginia. Not much has happened, just the usual with moving. John is doing his best to adjust to a new school, Dylan LOVES his new school, John is getting the hang of his new job and Julia is helping me at home a lot these days. Here is a random mix of the last few months. Hope everyone is well and please know we love you!

Our Paper Christmas Tree

Since John is in Virginia and we move out of our house in 6 days, we didn't put up any Christmas decorations. I usually have my Tree and trimmings up by night time on Thanksgiving so this has been killing me! SO. . .we made a paper Christmas tree. The kids and I colored ornaments and glued them on. We hung it in the kitchen so we can see it everyday. LOTS of Fun!
Merry Christmas Everyone!

Halloween 2010

Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween. We had lots of activities! John had his last soccer game, school parties, Halloween party at my parents house, Trunk or Treat at Church and of course Trick or treating. Lots of photos and lots of fun! Love you all!

Dylans face explains it all! He NEVER lets me take his picture so him posing for this one was GREAT! Happy Halloween!

Julia and her new laugh

This laugh started about a week ago. We knew from a very early age that Julia was "ALL GIRL". This video just proves that!

Moving to Richmond VA

I know, LONG over due but better late than never. The title is correct. John is taking a move to Richmond VA. Although sad, we are also excited to see what this adventure holds. I am mostly making this post to catch up on pictures but because I am SO FAR BEHIND, I will only share the most recent. Thanks for those of you who are still checking. . .even if I have neglected the blog for a while! I promise, more to come!

Love,
Anne

Easter and the Zoo!

We started our Easter on Friday. Went to Johns parents and had Brunch, Easter Egg Hunt, Played outside, family t-ball game, water fight and 75 degree weather. PERFECT! Went back up to GB on Saturday to my parents. Lunch, Easter Egg Hunt, some basketball and zimzam, a potato gun fight, only to come home to no power. Sunday a nice service at church and some down time at home. Monday, the ZOO and 70 degrees. IT WAS ALL SO WONDERFUL!!
