Life

The past few weeks have been a little crazy. We went on vacation and then moved 3 days later. We were lucky enough to have my parents come and help. It made a world of difference having the extra hands. Things went so much more smoothly and quickly. (Thanks mom and dad!)
We now live in Burleson, Texas. It is about an hour south of where we were before. So, not a big move, but a move none the less. We love the new house that we are in. It has so much more room than the last one did. 
We are getting to know the area and are seeing that it is a lot smaller than anywhere else we have ever lived. However, it is surrounded by bigger cities, so it is not a big deal. 
The kids are getting ready to start school. It starts and Tuesday and everybody is more than ready for it to start. We live only about a block away from Macie's school so we were going to be able to walk. It is a new school and looks to be really nice. We went to back to school night on Thursday and found out that the school is to full and she is being transferred to another school that it about a 10-15 drive away. AHHH! I was so excited to have her go to this school and have it be so close. Now, the school that she is going to is really old and not in a great area. We did meet her teacher though and she seems like she should be pretty good. We are just praying that within the first few days of school kids don't show up so there is enough room for her to transfer back.  
Addie is going to be going to preschool 3 days a week. She is so excited!! She will be gone all day Tuesday-Thursday. We will see how she adjusts. Hopefully it tires her out enough that she will actually fall asleep at night at a decent time. 
Camden is starting to crawl. He can get to where he wants and is getting faster everyday. It is weird having to go back to checking the floor all of the time to make sure that there is nothing on the ground that he can eat. He loves to find anything and everything that he knows he should not be getting into...school supplies, magazines, wipes.... The worst part is I know that it is just going to get worse. It is time to baby proof the house. Blah. I am so used to just leaving things around and not having to worry about I leave the paint or the scissors or my hairspray. It should be interesting. I have a feeling that there are going to be a lot of stories with this little guy getting into things. Wish me luck!!
This is just a super cute picture of Camden one Sunday before church. I love seeing him in hats. He, however, does not enjoy them. We are working on this. Ha!
I had my birthday right before we left on vacation. The girls made me breakfast in bed and a birthday cake, along with some cards. So sweet. They were so excited to walk into my room that morning and give me their gifts.
Right before we moved, Geoff was out one night watering the lawn and found this lizard. I had spent that last 1/2 hour trying to get the girls to calm down and go to sleep and they were finally quiet when he opened the door and announced what he had found. Good thing the looks on their faces was worth it!!
Macie is sooo excited!
Awesome dad!
Addie is not into bugs as Macie is. She tries to act excited, but sometimes, it is just not her thing.
