Quick Update

This post is just a quick update on what’s been going on.  I know I haven’t posted in a while, but I wanted to let you know that we are alive and well.  Tired, but alive and well!

We’ve been traveling every weekend for the last 7 weekends except for one.  Yes, we are exhausted – but feel accomplished. We’ve seen a lot of people and created some lasting memories.

Even though we are travelling on weekends, we are still trying to get Miles’ T-ball league time in before leaving town.  We recently found out that his league isn’t going to progress beyond a little batting practice and base running. Boo….  I’m not going to feel bad if we miss it anymore.  Miles get more practice in with his dad each night. Time to start looking for a pee-wee baseball league that’s not a part of the parks division.

During the week, we’ve spent our evenings looking at apartments since we hope to move late August.  Our current condo has served us well, but we NEED outdoor space. Miles is far to active to be so far away from a park. We hope to select a new unit within the next week or so!! Then its onto planning the actual move…..

We have LOTS more travel planned in the next few weeks.  I hope to be better about taking photos again so that I can post during the week after our new apartment is selected!

Thanks for your patience throughout this busy summer!

As long as there’s time for baseball, Miles has been GREAT in our crazy season of life. If Miles ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy!!

She’s a Purdy Thirty!

Happy July 3rd to many of you….BUT Happiest of Birthdays to you, Miss Bethany Joy! 

I’ve heard –many, many times – that had you delayed your first breath by just a few more hours, your name would have been Amy Erica!  Yikes – I feel that your given name is one of your greatest gifts, don’t you agree?!

I’ve been hanging around the Klinge’s for greater than 11 years now. I learned of the family’s love for traditions, both old and new.  Little did you know, that nearly 2 years ago, you started a new one. Click here if you need a giggle/reminder!

Now onto the blast of your past showcasing just a few of your talents and spiritual gifts:
(aka photo dump from a time in your life I wish I could have witnessed!)

Strength – look at that control!
Is this Beth or Paisley?!  Wow – Klinge’s make cute kids!
 
Taste - Early development of your refined palette

Provider- just honing your master chef skills

Thankful - Showing outward appreciation for those who love you.

Brave– holding an awkward pose in the arms of a grumpy brother so that a photo opportunity is not missed

Quick learner – little time passed from demonstration until mastery

Maternal instincts – Paisley and Adelyn don’t know how lucky they are!

Great aim – this will surely come in handy on that acreage!

Beauty – you can never underestimate the importance for adequate sun protection

Confidence – yours is contagious!

Bethany Joy…. you were a cute little girl, but you are a beautiful woman – a very purdy thirty!
Welcome to the club!
