It's been over a month!!!

I was on such a roll updating the blog but then we moved and other things took it's place. I am back in full force!

We made it to Cincinnati, OH and we are all settled in. We are loving it here. The kids are adapted and have already made friends. We can't say anything bad about it other than it is HOT. It is very green here with more trees than I have ever seen. Whenever I do errands I cross the Ohio river which is surrounded by trees. The kids keep asking why we are driving through the forest. I am pleasantly surprised there aren't more bugs. Since they are my enemy I am happy about that. And NO mosquitoes!!! YAY! I hate those things.

It's hard to believe that Avery will start Kindergarten here and Thomas will be in 4K. They are excited to meet new friends. I am amazed with how quickly they have adapted even though they of course miss their Madison friends.

Eric starts fellowship on Monday. It is a great group of people that he will be working with. They took us to a nice steakhouse(YUM....with the most amazing mac n cheese I have ever had and I don;t like mac n cheese)and they were all so friendly and welcoming. They have given us a pass to the zoo and amusement park/water park and the kids love it. I am brave enough to take the kids alone when Eric is working in the day. OF course Eric and I can't wait to have date nights there and do the all the BIG ride without the kids.

So far things we love Greater's ice cream. The best I've tasted. We love their traditional Chili. It's like nothing I have had before and I have already tried recipes so I can make it once we leave. We love our neighbors. The kids are outside playing with the neighbor kids everyday. I love the full trees and rolling hills. It is a beautiful state and we are happy we get to live here for a year.


Kids at Kings Island water park. I think Avery went down one of the water slides 50 times....

Here the kids are in Snoopy land at Kings Island...

Brynnley having fun smashing up crackers while the big kids are on a roller coaster with Dad..

The kids with some of their friends at their Lemonade/cookie stand. They were so cute trying to get people to buy some with signs they made from the previous day. Who couldn't resist supporting these adorable kids. They had a successful day and Avery finally got to have her lemonade stand.
