ANOTHER Birthday Party!!

This past Sunday, we celebrated Tommy's birthday with the Richmond crowd at Auntie Laine's house. Tommy had a blast eating lots of cake and icing, opening his new Brio train sets, puzzle, and "big seat," and talking his uncles and cousins into taking him outside over and over again. Here's a shot of the three of us getting ready to cut into Tommy's fantastic Thomas the Tank Engine cake. As you can see, a fun time was had by all!

Yob-in :)

After a hectic week of packing, driving, and unpacking, we're in and mostly settled in our new apartment on the outskirts of Richmond, VA. I'm happy to say that the giant UHaul behaved itself and made it to Farmville in an impressive 6 hours with only one stop and $150 worth of gas - sheesh! Even more impressive was the fact that said UHaul (packed to the gills - who knew we had so much stuff?!) was completely upacked in a mere 45 minutes! WHAT? Twenty MP youth and four parents moved the job along in record time. Tommy's attitude has greatly improved now that he knows all of his stuff wasn't packed in a box for good.

Although we're excited to be moved in and beginning a new chapter, we're missing all those we left in Hendersonville. This post is therefore dedicated to our dear Yob who wins the award for most fantastic babysitter EVER. Tommy misses you and so do we!
