OUR BLOG HAS MOVED!

24 August 2008

Yeah Sure, We're in Minnesota!

Hey everyone,

Our blog is back! And after all that waiting and wondering, and then planning to move to Virginia, we have instead landed in Minneapolis. Aaron jumped on a spot that was open here, and we are very glad to be closer to home. Minnesota is a whole lot more friendly too!

We are currently living in corporate housing, and are in the process of finding a house. It's been great having Aunt Hannah here to take care of the kids while we cruise the suburbs looking at houses. Unfortunately she is leaving tomorrow night. : (

Tomorrow we are going to the kids' school to get them registered and have a school tour. We also plan to put an offer on a house.....stay tuned.

We hope you will find it more convenient now that you do not have to log on to see the blog. Enjoy the pictures!

On our way up to Minnesota, we stopped overnight at Great Wolf Lodge in the Dells. The kids had a little cabin in our room with bunk beds and thought this was awesome!



Olivia and Nick in the lobby



We had to go into this cheese-N-sausage place....it's so CHEESY!



Alex loving the cheese




In our temporary Minnesota quarters, we had to find something to do
(our toys aren't here yet) Nick picked the game of Life.



Our apartment has 3 bedrooms and is nice & new



Alex enjoys a nectarine on the island!



Sidewalk chalk - more cheap fun









We couldn't resist a trip to the Mall of America one evening.
Olivia got her ears pierced at Libby Lu! Here is the "before" picture.




And here she is with Daddy afterwords



So grown up!



She was excited about these rainbow-colored flower earrings

Hey Julie,

I love the pictures, please tell Olivia she still looks like a little princess. I can't believe how tall Alex is a boy now not our little huggable Alex of a year ago. Did Nick win the game of life against Aaron? You are such a typical mother tho all the pictures of the family but none of Mom. Thanks for including us in your Blog I want to keep in touch and see the kids grow. Love to you all Nanny and Papa D.
