Move Part 2

We transitioned to our second home away from home last Friday. We are now in Nashville at my parents house dog/house sitting while they are visiting sister big in Kenya. I'm so excited to get to see them before and after their trip to get all the scoop!!

The, what once was, 9 hour trip took us 11 hours, but not because of the two kids in the back seat. It took us two hours to get through Memphis because of construction, a bad wreck, and weather. Samuel was a trooper! He did great on the drive and really didn't watch too many DVD's :) Clara on the other hand...

A moment of rest in the back seat...
It got really quiet today, and this is what I found... He was seriously typing away and jabbering in the process :)

Sam is loving the fish (all Nemo of course) and being outside...

New Poll

There is a debate going on in our house about finding out the sex of B2. So, what do you think? Vote in the poll on the right side of the page!

Blueberry Picking

We went blueberry picking last week. Sam enjoyed running around with the big kids and eating blueberries (ripe or not) straight from the bush. He didn't quite get the hang of putting them in the bucket... maybe next year.

The whole gang...

Heading out...

More interested in playing with sticks... Ethan, showing off his loot...

Owen, ready to go...

Chaucer, learning which ones to pick...

Sam and Mommy's date

Papa was out of town last week (in Vegas for a college friend's wedding... I was very jealous!), so Sam and I lived it up! We went out at least once every day and on Saturday, we went out on a morning date (my favorite)! He took me to Mimi's for brunch, then he let me buy him some adorable shoes from a fancy children's boutique (3 Monkey's... originally $54, down to $13!!), and a Nemo toy from the toy store next door. We then went downtown to the Bentonville Artfest where we heard his babysitter sing (or the last 30 seconds of her singing... oops) and looked at all the art while eating a snow cone (which he really didn't care for... I was shocked). A great date with a sweet young man!!

Pool Party

Our friends' Nana had us over to swim last week. She really spoiled the kids (and us) with lunch, dessert, and swimming! We all had a blast!! Thanks Patti!

Drew and Ellie enjoying their "dirt cups"...
Ethan, Xander, Sam, and Chaucer enjoying their dessert. You can see how mesmerized Sam is with Chaucer. Chaucer entertains and gets Sam to laugh at him and Sam copies whatever Chaucer is doing. It's so cute!

No, he didn't like it at all... :)

One happy boy! A tractor and six inches of water is all he needs...

P.S. They enjoyed the big pool as well, but I never had a free hand to get pictures of them.
