Another Tanner funny!

Well I'm determined to do better on these blog entries. I'm not sure how long that will last, but hey, I'm trying!

Yesterday, I took Lizzie and Tanner to ride their bikes down at the basketball court area. This requires loading the bikes in the van, unloading and them riding or walking their bikes a little ways down to the concrete area. So - I push Tanner most of the way and when we get to the riding area, he decides he's done (of course!) and gets off his trike and takes off his helmet.

I asked him: Are you done riding your bike Tanner?

Tanner: Yes.

Me: Really, you're all done??

Tanner: Yes, I'm done.

Me: Well, what are you doing to do now? (there are no toys in this area)

Tanner: oh, just chill out.

Me: (completely cracking up here) What did you say??

Tanner: I'm just gonna chill out.


He is just keeping us in stitches lately!!

That was a trip!!

Well - we arrived home from our impromptu trip to Michigan around 9:30'ish p.m. last night. Jeremy and I talked on Wednesday morning about winterizing our home in Owosso. After discussing costs for a professional, we decided (in about 30 minutes time) to hop in the car and do it ourselves. We left around 2:30 Wednesday afternoon.

We had a WONDERFUL time in Owosso. It was really nice to see many of our family and friends and it did MY spirit good to be able to visit! Thanks to everyone that put us up, put up with us, etc!!

AND - for my last note, Uncle Tim: you're goin' down!!! *oink* Here's a pic just for you!!

Lizzie's BEFORE and AFTER

We decided to get Lizzie's hair cut...I had envisioned it a bit shorter than we got, but we're very happy with the results. I'm glad we didn't go shorter! Very cute!!!

Plus - check out her piggies!!!

Settling in...

we're trying anyway.

We've been here in Portsmouth for a week now and so far so good. We've got ALMOST everything unpacked. I just finished the kids room today. WOW they have alot of shoes. HAHA. If I had 1/2 as many, I'd be doing great!! (I think that Jeremy's grateful that I'm not a shoe person!) The only room left unfinished is our room - isn't it typical that Mom and Dad's room is last (and usually never finished?).

We've managed to meet some kids and a couple of moms. At the playground yesterday I chatted with a mom that's probably around my age. They are a Navy family and have 1 child. He's 3.5 (I think) - so a good age between Tanner and Lizzie. She and I talked for quite a while - it was nice conversing with an adult! Lizzie made friends with a little girl that shares her name! She's 5 and as a little brother. It was nice fo them to have kids to play with. There are usually older boys on the playground...so this was a nice change.

I'm hoping to get some pictures in the next couple of days and will post them here.
We miss all our Owosso friends!!! Love to all.

We're HERE!

Well - we finally made it to NH. We arrived Wednesday, August 15 around 3p.m. We picked up our apartment keys and checked out our new pad. LOL. It's small. I'm not sure how everything will fit, but we'll manage I guess. We stayed two nights in a hotel, b/c our things didn't arrive until Friday morning. After spending most of the day Friday directing movers and such, we looked around at the sea of boxes and wondered what in the world we were thinking!! Just kidding. It will take a while to get it all put away, but we'll get there!

The kids are doing great. They're adjusting better than me! They love the playgroud (it is pretty nice). They have a playroom in the loft of the apartment...that's kind of neat! All three will share a room for now...they prefer it that way.

I'll continue to update here as I can. I'm going to try to get some pictures taken soon and get them posted on here as well!

I guess that's all for now. Please keep us in your prayers.
