An Easter Re-cap..

We had quite an eventful Easter. Matt was gone doing a show in LA, he then flew a Red Eye back to Leesburg to start his first day at his new job. That gave Nathan and I some one on one time. I won some free tickets to a magic show and Easter egg hunt at my Mops group a few weeks earlier so I was looking forward to some free fun. The little shakers Nathan has were noise makers, there were a ton of kids and they gave them drums and noise makers and had them play them.

The magic show was cool and they gave us free snacks. There were tons of clowns and of course the Easter bunny. Ok Nathan seriously LOVES the Easter bunny. The first time we saw the Easter bunny was at Wal-mart. Nathan was so excited he kept saying, "see bunny?" He got to sit on the bunnies lap and gave the bunny a hug. As we rolled down the aisle he waved and said "bye bye bunny see you next time, see you later". A huge impact for a kid his age. When we saw the bunny at this event we had to visit him numerous times. Nathan had a full on conversation with him and really enjoyed his presence.

The Easter egg hunt was fun, they had the area all sectioned off and we had to wait until 11:00pm to do the hunt. Try telling that to a 2 year old. My little guy excited to push the limits ran straight under the caution tape and started picking up eggs. I had to chase him and carry him back more than once. Once it was time to hunt for eggs Nathan had a great time. He picked the eggs up and really understood the whole egg hunt process. He picked up quite a few eggs and of course the best part is enjoying the spoils. Overall it was a great weekend, busy but memorable.

What is it with boys and Tractors?

So it didn't take long to find a lawn tractor, as we "NEEDED" one. I have never seen my husband so happy to mow the lawn. Boys and their toys? We found an old tractor for sale on craigslist. It is a 1971 Simplicity 637 tractor that came with a trailer. The guy just replaced the spark plugs and batteries and it runs great. We got it for $250 which was right in our budget. As you can see we took Nathan for a ride in the trailer, he absolutely loved it. He also likes driving the tractor like his daddy. The first time Matt mowed the lawn Nathan brought out his little toy lawn mower it was too cute. Notice how nice and green the lawn is. We have no sprinklers so all the rain keeps everything around here nice and green. I wish you could see how beautiful it is up here in the spring time. It reminds me of all the years we went camping

The Plains, VA

Ok so my goal to update the blog every week was not as successful as I would hope. It is almost like joining a gym, at first you get really excited then life happens and there goes the blog. We have had a lot happen in the last few months so I am not entirely to blame. Matt got a new job at Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg VA. His first day was Easter and we moved out to a cute little country house in The Plains VA. Our new address is 2737 Bluebird Ln, The Plains, VA 20198. It is a four bedroom two bath house on 1.3 acres. We have to buy a riding lawn mower for Matt to mowthe lawns,he is pretty excited about that, I am hoping to find a cheap on on craigslist. It has 2 fireplaces and a creek that runs through our front yard. The view is amazing, it is totally cabin country. It feels like home, although we still have a lot of unpacking to do. It is 24 miles away from Matts work, but well worth it considering the amount of space we have. We would be paying at least $100 more per month for a townhouse in Leesburg.

Currently everyone is sick but such is life and we are getting through it. God is so faithful to direct our steps and to provide for our every need. My parents are making a spontaneous trip on May 1st for week to help make curtains and to spend time with the family. I am really looking forward to seeing them it has been 4 months since I was out in Cali. Here is a picture of the house. I will post more soon, and if you are lucky I might post a pregnant pic of me, although I feel pretty large and in charge. I am 7 months pregnant and the baby will be here in 3months. Yikes this pregnancy has gone by fast. Enough rambling for today. Hope everyone i doing well.
