Back Up And Running. . .

Okay. . . I know it has been a LONG while! I am going to attempt to update weekly - kind of like a "week in review".



Before I begin, here is a brief update. In July Kris' dad was dignosed with brain cancer and we prayed about moving back to VA to be near Kris' family. The Lord provided in every way, making it very clear that was what we were to do, although it was extremely difficult to leave GA.



January 25 - 31



Goodnight time with Daddy: Kris is such a great husband and daddy! He puts the boys to bed most nights.


The boys recently changed roommates. Cai and Ryan are now sharing a room. This morning Cai found Ryan's deodorant and tried some on, without asking. Here he is showing me his "armpits". He told me to smell his armpits (which were the tops of his elbows). Guess he was trying to be like big brother.


It was National Reading Month and so I went in and read these books to Ryan and Trevor's classes. Two of them are in my Top 10 Favorite kids books and the other is a fun legend about Michigan.



On Thursday, we loaded up the suburban and headed to DC with the Johns Family. At one point we actually debated driving both suburbans, because we were running out of space!







I couldn't pick just one photo for each of our days in DC, so here are some of my favorites.
Riding the Metro

The Capital Building, we took a tour.

Saturday it snowed!! Here we are walking to lunch near our TimeShare. We decided not to risk driving into the city or riding the metro because the roads were pretty nasty.

The boys playing pool.

The Washington Monument, we rode to the top - very cool!

The gang outside the Monument. . . freezing!

Our Family at the Jefferson Memorial. We were able to hear Martin Luther King Jr's speech on the steps of the Memorial, very moving!


The boys near the Reflecting Pool, which was a bit frozen. It was a cold trip, but a memorable one with lots of fun times shared with the boys and Kris' family. Can't wait for our next trip! Three days is NOT enough time for DC.
