The camera has been on vacation while we unpack, get settled, etc. I did, however, unearth it to take some pictures of the girls on the neighbor's trampoline. I hate it, but they, of course, love it and want to go jump at 2pm when it is approximately 8,000 degrees. I have managed to make it an after dinner affair so that at least it has cooled down to 7,500 degrees.

George Matthew

Last week the house was packed up and loaded onto the moving truck. We left Northern Virginia with tears in our eyes (at least I did!), but were beyond excited about heading to St. Louis to meet George Matthew. The trip went amazingly well. The girls both had their moments, but overall were great travelers. After an overnight stay in Kentucky, we arrived in St Louis ready hold our newest family member!

Christie and Mike live a few blocks from a really nice, big park. Several playgrounds and many walking trails. It was too hot for the girls to don their helmets and go for a ride, but we did hit the playground one morning so the new parents could catch a nap.

Anna was, like most little kids, very quick to pick up on what the baby does a lot of...

My beautiful sister...

A St Louis trip isn't complete without a trip Ted Drewes.

Anna's tat.... "Yeeeeeeah."

TuTu with her grands!

After another day in the car we arrived in Little Rock ready to play with Gramps! Thanks so much to TuTu for helping us make the drive and for opening her home to us while we wait for our things to arrive in Shreveport. We couldn't have done it without you!!
