dinner delivered...

For those of you stressed-for-time moms...this is a lifesaver! My friend, Kim, told me about this girl (who is one of her friends). Here is the link...

I've just ordered my 1st meal...so, next Tuesday, I will relish in the fact that I don't have to cook!

stuck

I'm inside cooking greg's favorite birthday meal when I hear... "sarah....sarah"...I walk outside and look up to greg saying, "I'm in a bit of a pickle." hilarious. he decided to climb up on the roof (go figure?!) and he couldn't get back down. (notice will's outfit... plaid on plaid. he's into dressing
himself these days and takes NO input from mom)

a cold day at the capitol....

The Capitol lawn is a great place for a picnic or play date! It's got a great lawn, lots of room to run and play and a great view of downtown! Too bad we picked one of Austin's coldest days to go!

yea for warm weather!!

One beautiful thing about Austin is all the fun outdoor pools, playgrounds and sprinkler parks! Last Saturday we went with our friends, the Blantons, and let the kids soak their clothes (and diapers) in the sprinklers. Afterwards, we got some all natural...no corn syrup added snowcones(only in Austin...this is the most stinkin' healthy city I've ever been to)...but they were still muy deliciouso!!

Here we go again....

Okay...so here's my attempt to start this whole blogging thing again! We've been in Austin for almost 5 months! We've made some friends, love our Church and LOVE the weather! Austin is a really fun city. The obvious is that we miss our friends and family in Fayetteville, but I would say that moving has been a smoother transition than I thought. The kiddos keep me busy so I haven't had tons of down time to be sad which has helped I'm sure! And, having Greg home more has been great!! So, stay tuned for more posts! I promise to become a better blogger! :-)

goodbye saddleridge...hello sinclair avenue

well, we've offically been here over a week and i'm starting to feel somewhat settled. we're mostly unpacked which is a great feeling. my washer and dryer are up and running (as of 2 days ago) so now we have some clean clothes... i've been to target 3 times and wal-mart once (i now know that wal-mart isn't the place to go in austin....don't know if i'm gonna get used to that one.) i realize now that i could drive in fayetteville from point a to b in a total daze and get exactly where i was wanting to go. so far here, i've been honked at numerous times, gone down a one way street (the wrong way) and realize that i probably need to retake my driving test!! but, other than driving, i feel like i'm figuring out the city somewhat. i really do like big cities...i love all the options, parks, fun family things, and the weather here has been great so far. right now it's 33 in fayetteville....66 in austin! crazy huh. but, with all that austin has to offer, i definitely miss the comforts of fayetteville. so, friends, bring on the visits. i'm ready!
