WOW!!! January was the last time I posted?!?!?! Well, SO much has changed since then!! We are now East Coast Residents!!! We moved here the middle of February into an amazing house built in 1765! I love it although it is a little large for me~ it takes forever to clean! :) Greg's Parents helped us make the 4 day trip from Johnstown, Colorado to North Berwick, Maine! We had a nice stop in Iowa to visit some cousins and spend Valentine's day with them. We finally arrived here at about 3 am one morning and well, these old houses don't have lights in them!!! I had to take my first tour of our new home by cell phone light!
Greg's parents stayed for about 2 weeks and helped us unpack and get a little aquainted with the area. My mom was able to fly out for Easter and spend Spring Break with us and help get the outside under control. We did a lot of landscaping! Jacob has enjoyed the yard and the large house, each room has two ways in so it makes for a great hiding house! We have been going to playgroup and recently met up with a MOPS group in Dover! We also joined the YMCA and were supposed to have our first swimming classes today ~Jacob with lessons and me with a water aerobics class~ but his allergies were acting up horribly so we stayed home and are praying that we can get back on track next week!
We are working on getting our garden established (we can finally have one and I think I might be making up for the years past when I didn't have one!) and getting everything ready for the growing season! I am going to try my hand at canning and hopefully can cut back on our grocery bill in the year to come! :)
I am looking forward to finding a home church, we have been to three so far, the last only once so still trying it out, and are hoping that we can stop "shopping"!!!
Buster is loving the yard and room as well. We have taken him to the beach a couple of times and he loves it! It is too bad that we can't take him in the summer due to all the tourists that come up from Boston...
We are getting a little nervous about what the summer will bring as everyone has told us how many tourists come here!!! Greg has already noticed a change in the traffic as he has to drive to New Hampshire (where the office is) and then sometimes to Mass (where the job sites are).
I am very excited for this weekend as my friend Sandy will be flying in to attend the CK convention with me!!! For those who don't know , it is a huge scrapbooking convention held all around the nation, and we just happen to have one 20 mins from our house!!!
We will be having a lot of visitors this summer!!! Greg's parents will be doing some training in New York for their return to China this July, so we are planing on meeting them in Niagra Falls. My mom, and Grandparents will also be visiting on their way home from Norway! It will be an exciting 4th of July in Boston! Sandy and her husband are coming up the end of July and then we will be traveling to Washington for the Lockwood Family Reunion at my mom's house the last week of July!!!
We are welcoming anyone who would love to visit this area to come up for a visit! It is absolutly beautiful and everything is starting to bloom!! If you want to visit, just give us a call! :) Well that is all for now, I have a lot of cleaning and some projects to work on today! Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe week!
