First Day of School

The girls started school today at Kings Kids here in New Jersey.  Whitney was so excited!  And little Lindsey just walked right into her classroom, waved and said "byyye" to me.  I feel so blessed to have children that are ok being away from us.  It makes my heart happy to see them happy.  Here's my best attempt of a back to school photo shoot... 
Whitney 3 1/2 years
Lindsey 17 months

Preseason Vs. The Redskins

Good game...til the end. L 16-11. Go get 'em next time.

Silly Stuff

Just the girls playing together.  For some reason Lindsey starting doing this and Whitney thought it was funny so they both started doing it and falling on their bottoms and laughing.  It was so sweet to see them having fun together.
Whitney and (one of the five) Elmos in Times Square.  We went into the city over the weekend while my parents were in town to visit.  Elmo could've used a good bath...

Up and Running-First Preseason Game vs Giants

Monday Night Football!  The first preseason game for the 2010 season was last night at the new Meadowlands stadium against the Giants.  Unfortunately, we lost, but I came to the conclusion that it's better for teams to lose in the preseason so that they can see where their weaknesses are.  Right?  Ben played a good game through the first half, then he got to rest.  He rolled his ankle a little bit, so that may slow him up a day or two.  It shouldn't be anything major though.  We were lucky to have him home for the night and this morning, then he had to head back up to training camp in Cortland.  Booooooo!  But, there is light at the end of the tunnel, Friday they break camp!  Yay!

Whitney got to go into work with daddy to get treatment

Ch-Ch-Changes...

Well, we're moving again, but this time by choice.  Ha!  That's quite a concept!  Since we had bought our land, we put our house on the market in May thinking it would most likely take awhile to sell.  Well, we sold it!  We are so thankful for that.  The timing wasn't the best, but once again we were reminded that we are not in charge of our timing.  So Ben's been in training camp for two weeks and the girls and I have been in Georgia getting the house packed up and put into storage.  Well, really the movers packed up and moved everything, but someone had to manage that. :)  I'm proud to say that as of yesterday we are moved out of our house with all of our belongings, including our vehicles into four, yes, four (large) storage units.  We had to separate things into long term storage and short term storage because when we get back down to Georgia after the season, we will be most likely moving into a brand new double wide on our land.  We still have some hoops to jump through with the county about our "manufactured home", but we are confident it will come through.  We will build a house at some point, but probably not even start until Ben is finished playing, so it could be a couple years or it could be more (again, the timing thing).  We are excited to get moved over there and have a place to be settled.  And Ben is excited to have a place to ride his dirt bike every single minute of the day!  Until then, as of tomorrow you can find us in Jersey for the next few months.  Let the fist pumping begin!
