Summer is right around the corner...

We're still surprisingly busy! Aria had a little concert at her mothers day out program (Lutheran) made the swim team for 6 and under set, has started a weekly gymnastics program (instructor tells me she is very flexible). We are still investigating preK 4 programs. Leaning toward Miss Selma's in W. Little Rock.

We went to Jay Heulitts' medical school graduation celebration yesterday. What a great group of people and fabulous food! We met "Dr. Duck" a physician duck hunter. He and his wife have nine children, 4 biological, 5 adopted. Amazing. We also met Jay's fiancee and their family. A long time friend of Candy's, lovely people. Aspen was a big hit. :) so was Aria.

Chris has been flying a fair amount. Lots of storms taking out power lines around here. Chris had to fly at first light yesterday to assess damage. He loves his job and we love that he loves it. :) Missing friends and family, but adjusting to life in Arkansas.

I have a "momcation" coming up that I am really looking forward to, and then Jay Heulitt's wedding in Fayetteville where I will get to see all the Inglefields. Whoo hoo!!

In Arkansas!

A hectic few weeks!! Where to begin? The mad packing frenzy before Easter? The wonderful week long visit with family in Nova? The 16 hour trip through Virginia (including a brief visit with Kitty Ama, Chris' mom), terrible weather and tornadoes in beautiful Tennessee and hail damage to our car? Worst flooding in West Memphis and on I-40 since 1927? Tiny house 1/2 half the square footage of our Chesapeake house? We are adapting and thriving though. Chris enjoys going to work every day, Aria is already making friends and we are finding the people in our town to be warm and friendly. Aria will do a mom's day out program locally for the rest of this month to make some more friends.
