Gymnastics Studio

Today I took the kids to a gymnastics studio, called Style Gymnastics, that a Maryland homeschool group had set up. We had a blast! There were a lot more kids and many that are June Bug's age. In fact June bug already knew one from the homeschool conference we went to last year! Wow! It made me so happy that he found someone that he likes and shares the same interests!
The studio was set up so that the toddler area was separate (but connected) to the larger equipment. The toddler area had a moon bounce, rope swings, a trampoline, balls, soft ramps and climbing shapes. For the older kids there was a larger trampoline, a tumble tramp, balance beams, bars and so much more. My younger two played in the toddler are and also wondered all over the gym playing with their older siblings. It was so nice to see all the kids playing with their younger brothers and sisters and not one complained that little kids were in there way or taking too long on the equipment. I just love that aspect of homeschooling -- the kids always play and include everyone! The staff was so friendly and easy going. I can't wait to go there again!

Valentines Party

Since we have moved it has been hard to find a group that is close to us. There are two are groups but both are over an hour away. I took the kids to a Valentine party with a homeschool group that is near my hubby's work The kids had a great time and I enjoyed meeting the moms. They exchanged valentines, ate treats and played games. After the party we went to dad's work and had a picnic lunch...in the car ;)! It was great seeing him in the middle of the day! The day ended with pink waffles and take out from the Olive Garden (just for mom and dad)!

I'm Back!!!

Wow! What a busy couple of months! We have moved......but into a short term rental. We want to find just the right house for us! We have celebrated two more birthdays, lost three teeth, sold a car, gone on many many field trips, celebrated the birth of our Christ, read tons of books, potty trained a child, seen Santa, visited Grandparents, gave thanks on Thanksgiving, gone back home five times to visit or paint, went trick or treating, unloaded two moving trucks, two trailers and many van loads of our "stuff" from our old house, got a new computer :), started a rock collection, had a happy New Year, and Baby Water Bug can now walk! And more!

We miss our friends and family back home deeply and wonder what they are doing everyday! We long for the beach and warmer weather. I miss my house which is full of memories and echos of my childrens laughter and tears. Thank goodness for blogging, email and unlimited long distance! Even though we have moved we can always be close!

We have a new veiw from our home and new sounds outside. More friends and memories to make. We have new and exciting places to go see. Our adventure has just begun!
