What we've been up to...

Since arriving in Ohio our day-to-day lives have pretty much remained the same. Of course we have added a few things to make it through each day:

*A new bike for Rhaegan

*Season passes to King's Island (which we've been to 6 times now)

*A nice, big pool right across the street from the house

*A wonderful visit from Uncle Josh, Aunt Krista and their dogs

*Uncle Nick living only 15 minutes away

*Never ending time with Grandma and Papa

*A fridge in the basement with all the pop you could drink

...so really nothing big:)

Aunt Krista and Rhaegan getting ready to ride the Pumpkin Patch roller coaster.

This ride is definitely a favorite o Rhaegan's. Marlee wasn't the biggest fan however.

Rhaegan's new bike and helmet are one of the biggest hits. She always wants to go out and ride. We have mapped out a little route for her which makes it a lot easier for me to watch her.

If it hasn't already been blatantly obvious we are having a great time here. The only thing I would change would be making the weather a little cooler. 95 degrees with 99% humidity really doesn't put one in the best of moods.

Update

So as most of you probably already know we decided to move back to Ohio with my parents in order to save some money while Shae's work is taking off. Our drive (yes, we drove) was actually not too bad. Marlee is normally a TERRIBLE traveler, even if we are only going to be in the car for 10 minutes. I was very worried about the 24 hour trip with her. We decided to leave on Wednesday and drive to Laramie, WY to stay with my grandparent's. It was an easy 6 hour drive and it was great to see Oma and Opa Cupps. We hate not seeing them more often. Then on Thursday morning we headed out for an extremely long day on the road. We made it to Des Moine, IA which took about 11 hours. Marlee and Rhaegan both did great (and marlee only slept for a total of 25 minutes). We stayed in a hotel that night and then continued on to Cincinnati on Friday. We arrived at 7pm, stopped for a quick bite at LaRosa's and then headed to the house. We are glad to be here and Rhaegan and Marlee couldn't be happier. This is going to be an eventful summer. Hopefully my mom and dad have enough energy to make it through the whole thing. Now that you have my update I will post some picture in my next blog

T-Ball

Rhaegan had her first T-ball game last night and I have to say it was one of the cutest things I've witnessed in a while. She was a little nervous at first. She kept saying, "what is I don't hit the ball?" I quickly reassured her that you swing until you hit the ball and you never get out. It's the perfect game! When we arrived at the field she received her shirt (which she was super excited about) and then immediately got in line to bat.A quick picture had to be taken of her adorable uniform.She timidly stepped up to plate and waited for her coach to explain what she was suppose to being doing.
She took her first swing and as you can see the ball went backwards instead of forwards. She was quickly reassured that everything was ok and she got another try. Her second swing resulted in a beautiful hit right to the middle of the field. She ran to first and patiently waited for further instructions.

Marlee was a little bored and tired but did pretty well especially since she had her friend there to keep her company.
