Living in Georgia

 We just returned from our much anticipated vacation -- and boy was it ever eventful. As many of you knew, I planned a very aggressive vacation with the intention of modifying it as we went if necessary.  Little did we knew we would need to modify two hours into it. We started out with a drive to Niagara Falls, NY.  We left Friday night and drove several hours to Lexington, KY for the night, giving us only a 8+ hour drive to NY the next day.  Well, even though our boys (7, 5 and 3) have driven to Phoenix, AZ and Daytona Beach, FL among other long drives several times, this time, every few hours Wyatt would yell from the backseat asking if we were going home.  He was "all done vacation" before we even left.  Needless to say it was a LONG drive to New York the second day.  Of course, the fact that almost all of Ohio was filled with road construction didn't help.  But we made it and enjoyed (well, I'm not sure how much Wyatt enjoyed the Falls) a couple days at

 Wyatt cracks me up with the places he likes to get himself into.  He has always loved these boxes.  And he plays hard too!  Just a few random photos of the boys...and Wyatt trying to be like Daddy!!  Jason and I have had a lot of fun planting in the backyard and trying to get it more like how we want it.  It will take a while for us to get it just right but so far we're very happy.  And if you knew us from our Seattle days, you're probably wondering what happened to us.  We had this beautiful backyard in our first home in Federal Way that both mother's LOVED and both Jason and I said - get rid of all those flowers, too much upkeep.  And it was.  But now we're in more of a position to spend time at home in our yard.  And with our backyard fireplace, we really want something pretty to look at now that we spend so much time out there.  I've planted lavender in another part of the yard that hasn't done so well but it seems to LOVE this hillsid
