Life in our new town ..

We're in Richmond, Virginia now. We made the big move in Early September of last year. We have been blessed beyond imagine here in our new town but of course sure do miss our dear friends back in Charlotte. Chandler has adjusted so well to all the change from new schools to new homes and the like. She just goes with the flow and each day I continue to be in complete awe of her.


Thanks again for following along on our journey and I promise not to make it so long between posts next time. :)

It's Christmas! Say cheese! We had a great time in Raleigh at Von andChris's house for Christmas Day Part I.

Chandler's first REAL snow storm! Unfortunately, this was an unusal winter in the south. We had THREE big snow storms of nearly a foot each time. Chandler's favorite part was eating the snow. She says its ice cream!

My little snow bunny!

Grampie comes to visit us in Richmond

Lovin' on Nana!

Chandler was counting down the days for Christmas this year. She loved helping to wrap gifts and make decorations. She's quite the helper.

Chandler sizing up the Snow Queen just before seeing Santa.

Obviously, Santa was a little over-rated this year. Better luck next year. :)

Another gorgeous December Day at Maymont

We spent Thanksgiving in Raleigh at Von and Chris's. So much fun!
