January 2014

Ok, because I've been so slack with the posts lately we now need to step back in time a few months to that magical month of January 2014.  It was a busy month.  It started in Georgia, had a trip to Jamaica in the middle, and had lots of fun days in between.  I was lucky enough to be able to make a surprise visit to Georgia for my Mom's 75th birthday!

Also, we owe a big thanks to Aunt Sue and Uncle John for taking care of our kids for 4 days while Nancy and I went to Jamaica with my company.  It was a fun trip and nice to get away but there were times when we wished they could be there with us.  We sort of expected to hang out with the younger folks late into the night but decided that loud dance clubs weren't really our thing anymore.  And then we realized that they were never our thing.

The rest of the month was spent playing in the snow, unpacking and settling into the house, and having fun together.

We spent a lot of time unpacking and settling into our new house.  A big step was emptying the storage shed we rented while showing our old house.  We were so happy to have everything out of storage... until it ended up in our sunroom.

Meanwhile, the kids had a great time at Aunt Sue and Uncle John's farm.

It snowed the day after we got back from Jamaica.  The day before we were wearing sandals and shorts!
