We're all moved in!!!!

We've officially been in our new house for 1 week and we are absolutely loving it! It's been a bit crazy around here for the past month I'd say...with getting ready to move, the actual move and now the unpacking part. The girls have handled the whole thing like champs and have settled right back into our normal routine at the new house. They've been big helpers to us and have "helped" unpack and put things away and have "helped" Daddy to hang a few pictures and "helped" Mommy to organize things around the house. They still love playing in the moving boxes and I've found that just one big wardrobe box is good for at least 30 minutes of entertainment! We are now super close to Matt's office, to the YMCA, to the girl's school and future schools and especially to the beach...which is the best! We've met some of the neighbors already and have seen tons of young families around. Once we get settled (and it cools off a bit) I'm sure we'll meet a lot more! A big thanks to my parents for keeping the girls and I for a whole week while we had some work done at the new house before we moved in. We had a great time with them and the girls even got to go to Kamp Kiawah which they're still talking about nonstop. We'd love to have some visitors....plenty of room and the boxes are almost gone! Come on down!!!!

St. Augustine!

The weather was sort of dreary today so when we woke up we decided to be tourists in our own city (or at least, close to our own city) and take the girls to St. Augustine for the day! It's only about 30 minutes from us and there is SO much to do there...and we only did a teeny tiny little bit today but had such a fabulous time! We started off at the Merry Go Round and there was only one other little girl on it with us. The girls thought it was awesome (and it only cost $1!). Right next to the Merry Go Round was a playground so the girls went straight there afterwards and played and played. We then ventured into downtown St. Augustine to find our real reason for the visit...the Pirate Museum! The girls have gotten really into Peter Pan lately and love all things PIRATES! It was the coolest museum. So much to look at...really interactive and the girls loved everything about it! The best part was that when you first walk in and pay for your tickets, they give you a treasure map to follow. You have to find 12 different skull and crossbones throughout the museum and mark them off on your treasure map. If you do it...you become official pirates and get to go into the pirate's treasure chest! The girls loved looking for the clues and each got a beautiful pirate jewel from the treasure chest at the end. It was a really cool museum and we found out that there is even a real pirate ship that you can go on and it takes you around on an actual ride in the water! The seas were too rough today so we didn't do that...but we absolutely need to head back and do it again (and we all think that Cooper has to come with us...he would have LOVED today! and so would Uncle Ron!). We walked around St. Augustine for a bit and had lunch in a treehouse and ice cream for dessert! Then found one more playground and headed back home. It was such a fun Sunday!!!!
