Having a hard time with a whitty Title....

Life, as always, in the Mundie house has been B-U-S-Y! Even though the household projects are slowing down, life is kicking into to full speed. Savannah started preschool two weeks ago and LOVES it! Parker and I have started a Women's bible study at our church. Parker gets to go to nursery while mommy fellowships with other women about the book Captivating. I have never seen so many women at a midweek daytime bible study. We are also starting Savannah in a club called the Cubbie Club where she will learn bible verses, watch puppets, do crafts, etc. It is part of the group Awana's, that some of you may have heard of before. I think she will have a blast. She is SO smart. She has learned a ton of letters and knows what lots of words start with and can write about 15 different letters on her dry erase board. She has also made a new friend at school named Shelby. She has come home talking about this Shelby for the last two weeks. We actually didn't know there was a Shelby in her class (not on the class list) so we thought she was making her up! Luckily, when the directory came out yesterday, Shelby was on it! It is sweet to see her make her own friends and not just the ones mommy brings over.

What else? Well, our little man just turned 10 months and has three new teeth:

Tooth 3: Aug 10
Tooth 4: Aug 14
Tooth 5: Aug 26

He also just started saying Hi! So now he says, "momma, dadda, bye bye, and hi!"

He is almost walking and is the cutest little thing I have ever seen. He is so sweet and love playing with his toys.

We are still trying to find some friends in the area. Moving into an area where everyone is already established in their friendships has proven difficult to making friends....or maybe we just look weird! However, we have found several new friends at our church, so we are excited about that. WE STILL MISS OUR DC FRIENDS LIKE CRAZY THOUGH.... :( And, of course, our Knoxville friends and family.

I guess the biggest news in the house is that I am about to start a part time job working from home. I will be working for a company that helps register people and book tickets to Christian events such as Beth Moore conferences and Christian concerts like Aaron Shust! My new friend from our church is the manager over the company and got me the position. Also, April has taken a position with the company too, so we will be co-workers and sister-in-laws!

Well, our anniversary is Monday, so we are taking the kids down to Miami and Key Largo for the weekend! Hopefully we will get some good pictures to post! We are so busy, I feel like I never have time to update this thing.

I hope everyone is doing well, and I am planning on posting some house pictures soon too! The drill team from DC is coming over tonight for a BBQ because they are in town for a show. So...I have been cleaning like crazy, so I figured that this is a good time to get some shots. So...look for those soon!

Happy blogging!

Summer Time Baby

Well...I just noticed it has been a LONG time since I updated our blog. All we have done for the past month is work work work. We are loving being homeowners, however it has come with a few challenges. I guess we expected that a brand spanking new house would come with no flaws, but we have had to deal a few minor issues and one major one....but we are getting everything worked out and the house is coming along nicely. We are a month in, and only one box left in the house. The garage is a different story....and there are pictures and wall art all over the floor...but, like I said we are getting there. We couldn't have done it without the help of our family. Everyone has come down and done their part to help us settle into our new home. We have had some good babysitters and laborers.

We have gotten go enjoy the beach some too. Of course all of our visitors want to see the beach, so we have gone several times with guests. We were able to go with the Mundies to see the Endeavor FINALLY launch after five (i think) attempts. We went out for three of them!

We have starting visiting a church here. It is a community church and we really enjoy it. I registered for a women's bible study there starting in a few weeks and I am really excited. Now that I am done with most of my unpacking, I am in need of making a few new friends. Savannah, poor thing, is really longing for some friends and it makes me so sad. I really do hope church and preschool bring her some much needed friend time. Luckily, Parker is getting a little older and they have started playing a little bit together. It is the sweetest thing ever as long as they are getting along.

Parker is growing like a weed, and just tonight, Savannah and Parker split a kids meal spaghetti right down the middle and they boy ate his entire plate! He is a beast. He is so active, however, that he is not as hefty as he once was. He is really growing tall. He is saying Mama, Dadda, Bye Bye, and UhOh. He waves bye bye to everyone and every thing, even his passy when we leave it in his crib after nap. It is precious. He is precious....I LOVE every little thing he is doing right now. Except maybe the whining due to his THREE teeth coming in at once...However, I would probably be crying myself.

Well, that is about it with us. I will leave you with several pictures from stuff over the last month. Happy blogging.

Ring followup!

For all of you who want to see pictures...you'll just have to wait! :) The rings are at the jewelers right now being "married" into one ring. They are currently replacing my old diamond (sad day :( ) with my new one. I should have it back in about a week....

until then....
