Where Have We Been?!

Hey everyone! Sorry that I haven't posted anything since Bret's graduation back in May. It's been crazy. Just a little update. The weekend after Bret's graduation, his family was back up for Kyle's graduation. We had a great time visiting. We were supposed to close the Friday before but ended up closing the next Tuesday. So, instead of having 5 days to pack we only had 3. We headed down to R'dale that Monday and back up to B'ham on Tuesday. Also, the realtor wanted to show our house that Tuesday night so that was great timing! :( On Wednesday, we had dinner at Holly and Clint's house and had a great time with them, Avery, Emily and Jason. That Thursday, we had Logan's 2 month appointment. It went great. He's about 75% for height and weight. He handled the 4 shots great! Also, we met the SPC girls for lunch at Zoe's. That night, Mark, Lauren and Paul came in town from TX and we had them over for dinner. The house was a mess but it was great to visit. We miss them so much! So, now we are to Friday (the last one in May) - - we went to Mason's end of year party at lunch then Bret headed to Greenville to meet my parents. Luckily, they took the kids for the night. I stayed at the house and finished up packing. As soon as he got back up, 2 friends helped him pack up the truck. Saturday morning, we finished packing our bed and some random stuff, cleaned the house then headed down the road all by 10:30 AM. Our plan was to meet my parents and Bret's parents and Kyle and McLean at the new house mid-afternoon to unpack. However, we learned that Bret can do a lot of stuff including deliver babies but he can't drive a Budget truck. As we pulled into the Burger King in Greenville, he decided to catch his back tire to a front bumper of an Odyssey. OH YES!! And I saw the whole thing!!! But if that wasn't bad enough, the impact also punctured our tire. Luckily we were able to bungy their bumper and they headed down the road to the beach within 30 minutes. BUT, we stayed there 3 more hours waiting on a tire company from Montgomery b/c apparently no one works on Saturday afternoons in Greenville. So, we finally arrived at the new house at 6 and unpacked. Since it was so late, our parents took the kids again that night and let us work. By Sunday, we were both wiped out!!! Since then, we have gotten the house 90% unpacked. We've had such a wonderful time visiting with both family and friends. I can't believe Logan is already 11 weeks. Logan is sleeping great at night. He goes down around 8:30 and wakes up around 5 for a bottle then goes back down till 8 or 9. Mason is adjusting great to everything and loves the new house. We just finished putting up a play set out back for him. I will post pics of that later. Yesterday was Mason's 1st day at his new day care. He's not too happy about it but we are hoping that it will get better soon. I'm interviewing for jobs and will start Logan in day care as soon as I start work. Here are a few pics over the last month. It has been a crazy time but also so wonderful to have this much time to spend as a family of 4. God has blessed us so much. If only our house in B'ham would sell soon! :)
