The New Place

This is probably going to be a boring post but I thought I would show what the new place looks like, now that we're pretty much moved in... FINALLY.

Patio

So Kendal's hair is starting to get longer, and being the girly girl that I am I've been dying for it grow so that I can start to play with it, well lately we've been playing a lot with her hair and it's a lot of fun. Anyway these are just a few pictures that we took of the kids out on our little patio.

BTW we are really liking Michigan. The spring here just goes on and on and on, and it's so green, and everyone is really nice. Our church is great and we are slowly making lots of friends. Talen's birthday is just around the corner and I'm excited to get it planned. We are doing a fire engine theme and we are even taking a trip to the fire station so all the kids can meet the fire fighters, see the trucks and squirt some water. I ordered a fire engine cake yesterday and it is going to be GREAT! I think he's going to love it.

I have an interview next week for a possible babysitting position, so that's exciting as well. Anyway things are going.

Mother's Day

Well this is a couple of week late, but here are some pics of mother's day. I had a great one. The kids made some cute crafts, and Jared made me feel very special. He took me to pick out some flowers for our planters, and made some great meals. I'm so lucky to be the mother of Talen and Kendal. They are so sweet and fill my life with joy. At times they are a challenge, but overall being a mom truly ROCKS!

Getting Settled

So I haven't blogged in awhile, life has been insane and busy. We've now been in Michigan almost 8 weeks. We managed to find a new apartment, start a new job, go to Virginia and unload our storage unit, move into our new place, and I almost have my own daycare/preschool business up and running. It has been very busy and emotional. We're just happy to be moving forward. Michigan is cool. The spring has been gorgeous, there are so many trees everywhere- just like Virginia, the people are really nice, we live in a great area, there are beautiful lakes everywhere, there is a great sense of community, our church is amazing (as usual) and there tons of things to do and see, so we think we'll like it here just fine.

I feel like I've been so disconnected from all of my friends just because I've been so engulfed in my own life, so I'm hoping to be able to start blogging again, and staying in touch with everyone.

I'm excited to share with everyone my website, which is finally finished for my daycare/preschool and I would love for you to visit it for me and email me any feedback and suggestions that you have on it. I've never made a website and I've never taken my children to a daycare so I'm open to suggestions (and words of praise :) ) I'm also offering photography as part of my childcare and if I've taken pictures for you in the past, then your pics have made it to my portfolio on my site (Baylis, Heaven, Kenna).

I'm almost licensed through the state, so I'll be open for business soon. This is very exciting for me as I've never started my own business. I just hope it goes well.

Anyway below are few pictures...
