Changes......

So, it seems like alot has gone on in the few short weeks since we first got back from Florida. First off, I am going to be changing up our blog. I have "borrowed" a few ideas from a wonderful "new" friends blog. I read her blog and look at her work, and it inspires me! So, I am hoping to share some of that inspiration with you guys! I am thinking about taking up a new hobby too. I will talk about that more lately. I am also trying to plan another trip to Florida.......If only I could get my mom to call me back. Finley is talking non stop about "Gamma's" swimming pool. She goes on and on about Brewster sitting on the steps of the swimming pool, and she has been taking her new Ariel floaties and Mickey Mouse innertube with her everywhere. Just to clarify, she hasn't been wearing them, just carrying them, and will probably freak out when I actually try and put them on her. So, mom if you read this, let me know! Mike and I have gone round and round since we moved here about buying a house. We are, we aren't, we are, we aren't. It's a never ending debate. Well, the other day I was at a play date with the moms club I joined, and I fell in love with the girls house who was hosting the play date. As luck would have it, I found out that she was moving mid-July! Her neighbor is also a member of the moms club and has a little girl who is 4. Keep your fingers crossed for us! This could work out great for all of us. Me and Mike could have a home for the kids with lots of extra room and in a great area, and Finley and Blaine would have playmates to make memories with! YAY!!!! The added bonus would be a great new friend for us.


We have been busy bees around here for the last few weeks too. Lots of time outside, and trying to grow flowers and plant a garden. Finley has been loving watching the veggies and plants grow. She loves being outside, and I dread dragging her back in once we get out there. She is however getting better about it when she is told to come in. It seems like she may be growing out of the terrible two's. I can't tell you how great it is to see her leaving that stage behind and growing into a sweet, inquisitive, caring, kindhearted little girl.

I have been able to catch up with an old friend of mine from when I was in high school over the last few weeks. It's amazing how technology allows you to find and keep in touch with people that you haven't been in contact with for years. Anyways, she has two little ones as well and her little girl will be 3 this month. We got to go and spend the day with them last time we were in Altoona. I couldn't wait to see how Finley interacted with the kids. Much to my surprise, she jumped right in and played. They had a blast together! Drawing, blowing bubbles, running in the yard, eating popsicles, swinging, sliding, climbing, you name it they did it and had smiles on their faces the entire time.

That's it for now.........Stay tuned for more!
