Our New Adventure!

Well, we have moved to Erie, Pennsylvania! Jeremy accepted the job at the beginning of March and we moved right after the graduation and Seamus' baby blessing! It took us 3 days to travel the 30 hour drive in our little Hyundai Accent, so we were very grateful to have a wonderful townhouse to sleep in when we arrived!

Shortly after Jeremy started work and I was left at home every day without any transportation, we realized we needed another vehicle...and after the cramped 3 day ride in the Accent we knew we needed something with more space! A minivan seemed like a perfect choice, so we bought a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan!

Once we got in to our new apartment, we waited a whole week for our belongings to arrive. We were living on air mattresses and eating lots of microwaveable food or eating out. I think sometimes the Lord has us experience things that make us feel more grateful for what we have. I know that a week is not that long of a time to go without stuff, but we were still counting our blessings the whole time! :)

Fortunately, we knew we might be waiting a week for our stuff, so I planned ahead. I made sure that we would have stuff to keep us-especially the kids-busy! I had my school work to do, and I brought some fun preschool stuff to do on the laptop!

This is the fun preschool stuff on my laptop!


Even Seamus had his brain development
time. He worked on focusing his eyes!


Seamus' baby blessing! Granny Wendy got his
outfit, and Grandma Beth made the blanket!
