I can't beleive how gorgeous my yard is right now. We're finally in our new house. It's always such a thrill to spend spring in a new place. You never know what's going to pop up where! I spent the morning taking pictures of the flowers around the yard and the kids. They really love it here and spend hours outside exploring and playing. They finally have a "fort" of their own and a forest to boot. We call it the "14 acre woods" I guess a giant inflatable pooh and tigur are in order for Christmas back there :)

I miss my friends from Indiana, but as is the case every time we move, I've sort of filed them back in the file of great people I know around the country. It seems funny. There are folks that I have met who no matter where we live we might as well be neighbors. They make good use of the phone and internet and stop by when they are in town. I'm discovering that Indianans aren't quite that type. It was so hard breaking into the social circles there and make friends, and now that I've left the geographic location, I'm out of the circle once again. Oh well. At least if I'm ever stuck there again I'll know nice people to stop and say Howdy to eh?
