It has been a while since we have updated you all with any news. We are settling in great and the kids seem to love our new home and area. Brian is VERY happy with his job and the people he works with. They are a crazy group and very close knit. A bunch of the guys got together to have dinner and see Watchmen last night; I am thankful he has some guys to have fun with! Right now I am not working and staying home taking care of my family. It is great to not be rushing around balancing schedules and never seeing either my husband or my kids!
We have a wonderful neighborhood here on Fort Meade. Our street only has one row of 6 townhouses, so it is secluded from traffic and noise (its like living on a culdisac (sp) that is straight instead of a circle) . Our neighbors are all wonderful and we are enjoying their company. We are excited for some warmer weather that will bring BBQs and nights sitting around outdoor fire pits!
(this was last week when we had about 8in of snow!)Today, we are having a 72 degree day! It was time to buy the kids their first "real" bikes! Riley is a daredevil and took pretty naturally to it. Brianna is a little more cautious and nervous, but she is doing really great! Now we have to find some great riding trails without too many hills for us to go on family rides together. I am loving the ages of the kids; we are able to do so much and have so much fun without having to worry about all the baby gear to lug around.

Also, we have a new member of the family! Roxy is a 1 year old kitty that we adopted. She is super sweet and we call her our "love sponge"! Darby was not too sure about her and we had to keep them mostly separated for the first few days. Roxy was very patient and didn't seem to mind all the hissing Darby was doing. Now they seem to like each other and are even playing together!
