We Are Moving!!!

Our family roots start here....We love our new home.









We are only moving a few minutes from our current house, but in Oconee County which is a great area to own due to the best public schools and growth. We are very excited to close this Friday and move over the weekend!! It is our dream house and has everything on our 'list'. Not only does the neighborhood have lawn service, but we also have amenities such as a neighborhood pool, playground, hiking trail and tennis courts. Dane will have his 'man room' and garage (in the back of the house) and I will have my large kitchen, laundry room, walk-in closet and separate office for work. The girls will have their own rooms too so we are all happy! We have met several of the neighbors who have been all very welcoming and friendly. It seems that most of the neighbors have children of the same age as ours and lots of dogs for Marlin to play with too. Here are a few pics of the new digs.

Go GA Gym Dogs!


We went to see the Univ. of GA Gym Dogs gymnastics meet against NC State. We won...of course! We are rated #5 in the country and what can I say, but our team rocks! It was so much fun and it was quite a show with some fireworks, smoke machines, lights...we brought MeMaw with us too.

SJS Daddy Daughter Dance






Dane took the girls to St. Joe's Daddy Daughter Dance. He got them both corsages and made a date out of it. They had so much fun!! When they came home they were on a sugar high, but it was not long before they all (Dane included) fell asleep. I went out to a neighborhood Italian restaurant with several of the other moms and we had our own little mom's night out.

Dane and Alexis ran in the SJS Annual Race. Dane ran the 5K and Alexis ran in the 1 mile and did terrific. Dane got 1st place for his age group and took home an awesome SJS pint glass and Alexis got a terrific medal. It was so much fun! Izzy helped me out with registration and set-up of the race.

I Heart GA Winters



We were enjoying a gorgeous and warm day today by riding bikes and scooters around the neighborhood. For all you Minnesotans, please note the short sleeve shirt in February ;-) Had to rub it in just a little bit.

Camping in Style





Cabin in Helen, GA

Michelle and Tommy came down from MN to visit. We stayed in a rented cabin in Helen, GA near the north Georgia mountains. It was a gorgeous cabin, amazing mountain views and a great way to spend time with family.
