Finally, we have internet! Hooray! We have missed keeping up with all of you. Today makes 3 weeks we've been here in Virginia and we are really growing to love this place, despite the cold, wind and snow. With all that, it must have a lot going for it, right?
We have made some new friends, been new places and located all the libraries in the area. We even caught a Dr. Suess Birthday party last week and learned some new moves at an open gym program, and thank goodness for all of this because early on I thought I might just release the children into the wild out here based on their outlandish, alien behavior.
Apparently, all they needed was to get away from me (who'd a thunk?) and to be challenged a bit. Henry has learned to do some weaving and sewing, but more importantly, has developed an all new passion. Chess! He starts and ends everyday with a game, sneaking in as many as possible in between. The fact that he's already beat me, suggests that perhaps I should be sneaking in a few extra games myself. Meanwhile, Wynne is turning into a lego-maniac, building all the time. He has also learned to do a flip on the bar and a cartwheel. Singing rhyming songs is also a specialty. And Bryce, well, we don't see too much of him. He's too busy wandering the woods and talking on the phone. We do spend mornings and evenings and weekends with him, and for that, we feel pretty lucky. Today, its off to see a play and to check out the parks in the area, as it is finally going to be 50 degrees and sunny. Yippee!!!
Can we see pix of the Big House?
