Oops

I forgot pictures of Teegan. I'm horrible. He is just as adorable as Liam. I'm a bad aunt. Plus, I had to put my favorite picture that I took on there as well. It's incredibly artistic. Just kidding. It's one of the Aunties.....(I'm not saying which one) and Liam's bums. It was too cute to pass up.

Teegan is such an easy baby. He never cries! Only for a diaper and a bottle. And he was such a snuggler. He made me want babies now, and Liam made me love birth control. I was so confused the whole trip.

Virginia

Ok, so long time over due.......dun dun duuuunnnnn.....The pictures from Virginia. I will start at the beginning. We arrive in VA Wednesday evening. I will never forget seeing Jennifer taking off in a dead sprint to be the first one to Liam, and he cried. He didn't know us. We went to the Olive Garden for dinner because when your there, your family. (joke) It was nice to get reaquainted with Liam, he had a hard time getting used to us. The next day, we all wanted to go to Colonial Williamsburg. It is so cool there to see all the old buildings. Plus they have this really great coffee shop that went to so many times. Plus an awesome wine and cheese shop and candy store. We hung out, did a little shopping and then went home. The next day we went to the beach! That was a blast. Liam loved the water. Jen is his new favorite auntie because she played with him so much. They were in the ocean for so long. He was happy as a clam (ha ha) until he was chasing after Jen, and he was so close to her that she could reach out and touch him, and a wave came up and wipe his poor little feet out from under him, and sucked him out to the ocean. All you could see was his little body rolling in the water. Luckily another wave washed him right back to us. It was terrifying. Jammie, Russ, Jen and I were all running after him. His dad got to him and pulled him up, and he looked so scared, but he was holding his breath the whole time! We figured that was enough of the water for a bit. He loved the sand after that.

The next day we went for a long drive out to the OUTER BANKS. WEEOOH WEEOHH. It sounds like the Twilight zone to me for some reason. The outer banks is a little penninsula that has three different towns, Devils hills, Kitty Hawk, and one other city. Kitty Hawk is the place where the Wright bothers flew the first plane. We were driving by and there are seriously 20 kites in the sky. Some are so big it takes 10 people to fly them. So we went and bought kites and flew them. Then it was on to Roanoke Island. That is one of the first colonized cities, although the leader of the group went back to England for a bit for more supplies, and when he came back everyone had dissapeared and the only thing left was a carving in a tree that said Roanoke. It was neat to see the foundation to the old fort, but there was such a creepy feeling to the place. I went for a walk by myself. I was hoping for a spiritual awaking, to be there alone with my thoughts and the spirits of the past, and I got nothing. Lost for a bit I guess, but other than that.....nothing.

After that it was just hanging out. We did get to spend a day at Busch Gardens. That was fun. It was cool to be able to get to see Jammie and Russ without the kids. Mom and Dad took them all day.

We cooked a lot of dinner, drank a lot of wine, and got to be a family again. It has been too long to not all be together. I hope that they will move closer very soon. Miss you Jammie and Russ, and Teeger (that's my nickname for him. It's like tigger), and Liam, our handsome boy.

Catching up

I have a hard time remembering that I actually have to come here and type stuff. I guess I've just always felt that my writing skills left something to be desired and therefore stay away from blogging. Which is honestly too bad. I have had so much happen in the last 2 months.

That house is ours. WE own it. It is already just so cozy and homey already. My parents are amazing and moved all of stuff for me. Jen and Doug and their friends, Megan and Tristan, helped mom and dad unload it all. I got off work, and it had all been done. They are so great. The yard was pretty much dead, but we are working on getting it back to green. All of my stuff is in the house, and Jen and I are working on getting the apartment moved over. I didn't realize how much stuff the two of us have together. I will have pictures of the house with stuff in it soon.

Also I need to get pictures of our trip to Virginia on here. The boys were so adorable. I talked to Liam on the phone today and I miss those little guys so much. I've only gotten to see Liam 3 times, and Teagan once, but it is so crazy how your heart gets so attached. It makes my heart hurt just thinking about it. Russ and Jammie were such great hosts. We got to do everything wwanted, fly kites at Kitty Hawk, go watch glass blowing, going to Busch Gardens. Is there anything more amazing then beer and rollercoasters? I could go back tomorrow. I love Virginia. It is so different over there, but everyone was just so kind. I will get those pics going soon.
