keep on changing





As we begin our new life here near ATL there has been lots of changes. Yes, i've changed my header but more importantly we've settled into our little place for the time being and the kids are adjusting. I'm still pursuing the photography avenue, I should have a website in the next month or so...

Brianna is about to start school in two weeks!!! I can't believe she'll be in Kindergarden what happen to my babies? She's very excited about starting school and meeting new friends. She's been working on a Kindergarden book this summer and is really getting into reading (I love hearing her read things). Kieran is growing as well. He's become really independent and starting to show his true colors. I don't know what to do with him once Brianna starts school. He really loves his sister and always grabs her to give her a hug. At least they play well with each other, of course that's until one irritates the other.

This week started off kind of shaky for Brianna. We were getting her shot records ready for the Georgia form but aparently the military didn't mail us all the updated ones!!! Brianna thought she was going to get 5 more shots but yes, I was on top of things that we straighted it out. So she is ready for school now, just have to register her. Everyday has been really slow after that day. We've just driven around town to get familiar and look at home. Kieran likes to look at model home, just wish we could already move to one. About 5 more months and counting.

The highlight of my week was when I took pictures of the kids dressing up. I love watching them play dress up because they come up with the funniest looks. Lets just say they get creative. Here are my favorites from their "Dress Up Day." I think I may have some Diane Arbus influence in one of my photos, what do you think?

Rocky Top Tennessee

So we finally made it to Georgia but spent our first weekend in TN. Since we've never been this close to family we thought we should test the waters and see how long/short the drive would feel...and boy did it feel short! This is amazing to me since we've never been this close to family in almost 8 years. Oh yeah, thanks to John, Dad, William, Mom, Ann, Tonja and Hunter for all the help moving a few of our things (all 3 floors!)!!!

We are adjusting to the civilian change and the kids are really enjoying the location. Brianna is excited about starting school and Kieran, he's just excited. We are getting ready for school to start and getting back to a schedule (losing an hour really makes a difference). Monty enjoys his stressless work and I'm just trying to find work.

I am still amazed by all the trees and greenery surrounding us, I really miss it and glad to be back. Here are a few shots from this past weekend in TN with my family. The kids really love the vegestable and fruit garden!
