what a difference a year makes

well, things certainly have changed for our family. We now reside in Matthews, North Carolina.
A new promotion for Daddy and a quick move later here we are. Everyone seems to be adjusting well. Darcie is in eighth grade and is taking hip hop dance at a local studio. Jeremy, is a running back on the 7th grade football team, while Darius who is now in fifth grade can not wait for spring baseball to start. Quentin our used to be homebody is now the resident snail and lizard catcher of the block. Shaylee who started kindergarten this year is the smartest in her class (we knew that ) and just lost her first tooth.
Our summer was filled with fun settling into our new house, a trip to the Smoky Mountains- we already have a return trip booked, and working on our unfinished 1500 sq ft basement.
We desperately miss our family in Texas and wish the two states were a bit closer.
Daddy is doing great in his new position and mommy is busy painting and decorating and organizing the house now that summer is over and everyone is in school.
