What We've Been Up To...

These last few weeks have seemed long and cold, to say that we're ready for Spring/Summer is an understatement. We did have a few days that were "warm" and glorious. It then snowed 10 inches the next day. Here are a few pictures of the kiddo's enjoying the great weather.



Really all a boy needs is some sticks to have some fun with:)


We took a trip down to Ohio this weekend and started to look for places to live. It poured rain, which was a good thing because we could see what houses had water damage. Ohio reminded us a lot of Iowa so hopefully we enjoy Ohio as much as we did Iowa.

Our kids were a little sick before we left and it didn't get any better. They were great for being stuck in the car for 3 days. They loved running around and looking at the empty homes.
We looked at about 20 homes and liked about 3. One of the homes that is a short sale was really dirty but had a lot of potential. I was looking through all of the rooms, opening doors. When I opened a door to a guy sleeping in his room. It was a little awkward to say the least and these people were not making any effort to get out of their home.
As Porter usually does he talked non stop on our first day looking around. As soon as the Realtor was out of the car he was out cold.
We looked at home that was kind of on a farm and when we got out of the car there was Chicken legs and bones in the driveway. The boys both thought it was coolest thing they had seen instantly putting this house as their favorite one:)
It was a good trip and I was glad to see where we are going to live. As we drove into the Detroit area Porter loudly stated, "I'm so glad to be back in Detroit!"
