We miss Kansas, primarily our family and friends, always our cul-de-sac and sunny house, and the sidewalks and being close to everything. But with this moves brings a whole new dynamic with Jonathan being home, and really present in everything we do. So, although I love the wildlife and the privacy our yard has, the view out my kitchen sink window, being so close to skiing, beach and Boston the BEST thing about being here is being together. Everyone benefits and this was one of the best decisions we have made for our family.
So for now, New Hampshire is where you will find us - all of us together. And as a bonus, it sure is pretty here in the fall!
That same evening, we had everyone over for dinner and feed the kids, put the little ones to sleep and the big ones watched a movie. But, before that - Jono took the kids on a mean LCR game which they all loved playing.
Ryan was the big winner - Ethan did NOT like that at all and burst into tears and stomped upstairs. He is not a good loser, so Poppy had to go up and set him straight.
On Sunday, Thomas was baptized in a really nice service. Unfortunately, Jono was taking video so I was minding kids so this is the only photo I got and Drew pushed my hand as I took it so I cut off Anna and Thomas. He wore Drew's baptismal outfit...and looked equally as cute as Drew did on his day.
Our first stop was to take the Metro because it was hot and the boys love trains. So we went over to Union Station (which is not much to see these days) but the kids did enjoy feeding the goldfish in the little pond and Jono so patiently gave out one little nibble each time for Drew to dump into the water.
First stop on Saturday morning, well the Arch of course. Ethan thought the ride up was fantastic and the boys enjoyed peering out into St. Louis.
Next stop was the City Museum which is the neatest place I have ever been for kids. Drew was not sure about the ball pit but they both loved the train ride.
