April 11 - June 14, 2011

Only took a little over two months to update but with all the exciting things going on and keeping us busy I think it is understandable. Since my last update we survived a too close to home tornado, celebrated Kyle's fourth birthday, enjoyed a long visit with Oma, Ingrid, and Chloe, and sold and bought a house. Along with the other moments in life, enjoy our pictures of these recent exciting events.

Showing the family our new house. This was just a month before we moved in. More pictures of the house will come later. Come visit!

Enjoying another math book...all about doubling numbers
Finding all the double dominoes
And a little fun playing dominoes

Gotta break for some dancing....Flight of the Bumblebee maybe?
This was a 20 minute long elaborate story about a house and garage, complete with this chalk drawing of a house and garage. You see that, right?
Springtime stenciling
"Driving around in my automobile..."
Easter dice roll and count game
The day after the NC tornadoes....this was the sign right outside our neighborhood and a tree a block from our neighborhood. The contract on our old house was made the night before the tornadoes. We presented an offer on our new house during the tornado....in the model home bathroom......with no electricity.....memorable to say the least. The buyers of our old house drove by that night to make sure we had no house damage. We were fortunate to have only debris from others and no electricity for 3 days. Just a mile down the rode an entire house was wiped out and neighborhoods were full of homes with damage. Why not our neighborhood is the question that ran through our minds.
