Our First Update Since the Resurrection of the Blog

I think our updates will come in spurts.  There's too much to say, so much we've experienced, and so much to do now to get settled.  Here's a peek at our new place.  This was breakfast this morning overlooking our little downtown Virginia Beach view.  We prefer to sit on a blanket in front of this window than at the kitchen table staring at a wall.  We can see the ocean (sort of) from our window, too.  At least we can see where the land turns into ocean.

Raleigh and Madeline

Here's Raleigh in her new cowgirl getup.  I think her profile is so cute!  She starts school tomorrow . . . it would've been today had registration not taken two hours.  All the better - her ultimate dream is coming true; she gets to ride the bus!  Even though part of me hopes that it is stinky and dirty to dispel all fantasies about buses, I hope it is the ride of her life!!!  (I never wanted my kid to ride the bus.  Doesn't schoolbus=troublemakers?  I hope she survives.)
