As most of you know, we moved from the beautiful state of California
to the even more beautiful state of Virginia. We live in NOVA which is
an abbreviation for Northern Virginia. I think we were all a bit
apprehensive about the move. Of course, being without the husband for 5
months left me with an independent streak a mile wide. Thankfully the
transition back together as a family hasn't been too rough. The kids
are adjusting well, as are the parents!
Of course our Big E has already dominated the neighbourhood with her vibrant spirit, loving heart, and dare I say "ummm leadership" and formed a club called Kid Time Club. (Please don't get her confused with Hitler, he had a mustache) Needless to say she has gotten together a group of 6 children and they meet on Mondays and Wednesdays at the local park.
It is so nice to live in a neighbourhood where I feel safe to let the small short people go up to the park on their own. It is just around the corner and if I go out on the deck I can hear them and see them through the trees. It allows me to be able to get a few things done around the house. Little E has already been banned from going unless with an adult because she refuses to obey Big E. However, she is only 3 and she will catch up on maturity with time.
Dane takes the Metro to and from work and really seems to enjoy it. It is about an hour commute each way but it gives him some downtime before and after work and because he doesn't have to drive it is more relaxing than if he were to have to drive both ways and the commute would be longer probably. So we are managing with one car just fine and I am able to run errands as I need to and also hit our local farmer's markets. We have several in the area. I found one man that sells his organic honey. I have always had a firm opinion that honey tastes like bee spit and is DISGUSTING, however if I have to eat honey it would be from this guy! Soooo YUMMY, for honey.
Well that is a semi brief update on our VA adventures for now but I will try to update more later. Enjoy a few pictures of the small short people at Frying Pan Farm. (Emmaleigh milked her first cow)
