fun in the sun

We are having a ball here!  It's so good to spend good, quality time with our family and friends. Silas is soaking it up...he loves to look at all of these new and exciting people.  
Sophie is enjoying Brother Billy.  They constantly play and then stand together and kiss?  Kind of weird, but since they are not really related...it's ok.

We have a house!!!  Our new friend, Amy, who we've never met in person is our Ft Bragg angel. She went over to the house they offered us over the phone and got INSIDE and took pictures for us.  She even met the neighbors for us and pre-screened the area. ;)  Sounds like it's a
 perfect fit for us.  Marshall already called and set up appointments for phone and internet, so I can keep this thing updated.  Do you know how weird it is to have no phone number, no cell phone number and no address?  Weird, I tell you.  Sometimes nice, but definitely different. 

I PROMISE to be better about keeping this up once we're settled and my computer has internet access.  For now, here are some pictures of the most precious tater tot...my heart swells more every day with love.  I thought it was already full...

Love from Texas for not much longer!

Sounds like you guys are enjoying the summer like we are. (mostly in the pool) I am so happy for you and your new house. I am sure you can not wait to move in and get back all of your stuff.
love, Lenka
PS: any chance you will make it up North?
