The Battcave

Yes, we're still here!! After two+ months of internet company incompetency, we are back ONLINE! (Do I hear angels singing??)

~
We are loving our new home, but I will not post pictures right now, because there are NO rooms that are complete. NONE. Why, you ask? Well, every spare minute we have has been spent on one area of the house -819 square feet of unfinished potential- I give you,

THE BATTCAVE!

We looked at this and immediately thought "FOOTBALL"

~

This is the bathroom...

~

And this gem is our new school room! (I daydream about this room, I am so excited about it!)

~

With the help of family and friends, we've spent our first two months as homeowners framing, drywalling, painting, etc, and we are ALMOST DONE.

~

Once the basement is finished, our whole living room will move down there, leaving an empty living room upstairs. In addition, all of our office and school things, which are currently housed in the master bedroom, will also move downstairs, to the school room. So maybe by next year, well be settled in enough for me to post pictures :o)

Falling Behind...

Well. It looks like I've gotten behind again!
~

We are officially three weeks out from our move to Georgia, and we are READY! We will travel over Memorial Day Weekend - this is a good thing because it means we will be outta here immediately following Justin's graduation ceremony. This is a bad thing because we have to drive two vehicles over 1,000, and we do not get reimbursed for gas... aw well, c'est la vie!

Hunter is having a blast in t-ball, with 3 games left in the season. His last game is the night before the movers arrive - talk about good timing! Next week he will officially complete Kindergarten, and he is VERY excited to start first grade, I am fortunate to have such a willing, intelligent, and eager student!
~
Morgan is rapidly approaching her first birthday, which is crazy. She's not walking or talking yet, but we are so excited for what will come in the next few months! She is an independent, feisty, and funny little girl who likes to be left alone to check out her world!
~
Justin is coming up on the culmination of his training as an Arabic linguist, a journey that will have lasted about two years to the day. He is VERY eager to get to the new duty station.
~
Here's to the next chapter, may the move go smoothly!

Play Ball!

We had a GREAT time watching Hunter's first tee-ball game this week!

~

Hunter was at the tee, waiting for the other team to get ready - He must have known I had the camera in my hand, because when I called his name, he turned around and did this...

~

My batting shots were not good - the focus was on the background, I'll try again next week! Here is Hunter on third, waiting for the word from the third base coach, Dad :o)

~
Score!

~
Showin' some pride in the outfield!

~
Hunter lookin' ready!

~

The next inning - playing first base. Again, with an excellent coach by his side :o)

~

You know what the cutest thing about tee-ball is?

... the fact that their little cleets don't even touch the ground :o)
~

A billion more pictures to come, as the season moves along!

T-Ball!

T-Ball season is here!! Hunter is on the Longhorns (shocking, right??) I can't wait to see him in his uniform!

Enjoying the Beautiful Day!

It's 78 and sunny, with a cool breeze today, so before Morgan's nap this afternoon, Hunter and I took her outside to swing on a swing for a little while. Hunter LOVES to push Morgan on the baby swing, because it makes her giggle like crazy :o)

In case you were wondering, that is the back of our house, right in front of Hunter.

CRAWLING!

Well, for now it's just a low-crawl, but either way, she's getting from point A to point B!

~

Bait has been set:

~

Hi Blue eyes :o)

~

Almost there

~

GOT YOU!

~

Wonder who she's calling? I think Grandma and Pappa :o)
