Some Goodbyes and Hello's

We have been so busy settling into life in Georgia that the last month has flown by. Hard to believe that a month ago we were just trying to find the grocery store and now we are trying to figure out shortcuts, new restaurants and fun things to do with the boys. We are getting closer to finding a new home and will hopefully be in something by the end of this month.


Quite possibly the best smoked pork and brisket burger I have ever dreamed of. Pappaw - it beats "crazy dave's" by a landslide!


Yes, they have Chuck E Cheese's in Georgia too! And unfortunately (oops I mean fortunately) it is right beside our apartment complex and Kurt and the boys drive by it every day to and from daycare. Luke screams "Look it's Chuck E Cheese" every time we drive by.



The BIG Chicken. A Marietta/Atlanta landmark. The beak and the eye actually move.



I realized we also had some fun photos from some of our Minnesota "goodbyes" to share. Thank you to all of our wonderful friends and neighbors who made our departure a wee bit easier through your kindness, support and lots of hugs!

Blake & one his favorite boy babysitter...Riley
Luke & Sarah


Blake, Henry, Luke and Charlie...I had to take about 15 pictures to get this one! They could not stop giggling and being typical silly little boys!




Blake, Chloe, Luke & Aleksandra...they had so much fun this night. Well they always have fun together, and it was great that we could get them all together. We are so excited for these amazing little girls to be big sisters!



Pirate cupcakes at Blake's last day of school. He took treasure boxes to his classmates too. This was a hard day. We had grown to really love the teachers at Cradle Club and miss them dearly. Blake had such great teachers who showed him so much love and kindness from his first day there last summer.


Luke got to take Choo Choo cupcakes to school on his last day and his teachers made him this sign. We really miss this gang too. Luke was so enamoured by his teachers and I now know how much he had them wrapped around his finger too. There were a lot of tears in this room that day...and mostly from me and his teachers. A while back Luke had found a little stuffed doll in their stuffed animal bin that he became attached to. He had to sleep with it at nap time every day and he would call it "his dolly Chloe". Dolly Chloe got to come home with Luke and when I saw it in his bag it just melted my heart.


We are doing good and enjoying discovering a new city, but we do miss you Minnesota!
