We'll Be In Touch

**for those that keep up - I changed the web address to wellbeintouchblog.blogspot.com** Last weekend we had the best time meeting up with friends in Blowing Rock, NC to go to Tweetsie Railroad! Tweetsie is a steam train theme park that has an old real working steam train along with lots of other amusement/carnival style rides for kids and adults! We met up with the Hawkins and Simoneauxs and had 6 kids between us! We all have kids within 8 months of each other, so it was really fun to get to hang out with the girls, talk mom stuff and watch our kids become friends! I am sure there will be many more trips like this in the future!  We left Friday morning and did really well, we took a long stop around Lexington, VA and the kids were very happy to be out of the car.   We saw App State's campus in Boone before heading into downtown Blowing Rock to meet up with everyone for dinner. For 6 kids who had all been in the car for a while, they did so well

I am so far behind on life, but there have been 2 big things that I can at least blame it on! 1 - We moved!!! Since Ben we knew that we would quickly be outgrowing our 808 sq. foot apartment. It didn't take me long to decide the next neighborhood I wanted to live, and after going to a few different open houses in the early spring to get a feel for their size/layout/options, I settled on Park Fairfax, a large town home/condo neighborhood about 2 miles from our current place. We were able to find a corner unit WITH a walkout to a back patio in the best little courtyard. We have no one above or below us and lots of big trees around us! We moved in last weekend and while it was a whirlwind, we are SO glad. We're still renting, but we get access to 3 pools, tennis courts, a car wash and we're in walking distance from shops/restaurants. We're really lucky that the last tenant left her patio table, umbrella and chairs, so we've been enjoying lots of meals outside! 2 -
