Saturday, Sunday and Monday

This past Saturday was wonderful because we were able to spend time with family. Christi and Skot went to Switzerland and had a day layover in Atlanta! So we went to see them at the Waldron's. We always have a great time there. The bummer was when we were nearly home and realized that we had left Bear. :( Owen was sad and had a hard time with out him.

Sunday we went to our new ward, the church building is small but it's a good bunch of people. Church is now at 1pm (nap time) so Owen was going wild for the lack of sleep. We had to leave during the third hour because he was just going nuts! He fell asleep before we were out of the parking lot. After a good snooze he was back to his usual self.

Monday Owen was still in need of Bear and was seriously missing the little guy. I caught him rocking in the glider hugging another bear, it was so sad. So after Garett got home we piled in the car and drove to the GNC where Robbie works (Bob had driven him down from Buford - Thank you!) and reunited Owen with his pal. He was so happy! He gave him tons of hugs and kisses and patted his head. I love to see him so happy.

Reunited with Bear!

Nite - Nite time is much easier with Bear.

NEW PICTURES COMING SOON - I PROMISE!

Sorry - I know all these posts with no pictures is so lame. I have plenty of excuses but I will skip them all for now. So we are now in our new home in Canton GA. We had a great move with all the help we needed. Thank you to everyone who helped! Our home is a work in progress - boxes every where, but we're getting things put away the best we can. We are all adjusting to our new surroundings, it's more apparent on Owen since he has more bruises to prove it. We love our new neighbors! There are little kids in nearly every house! And the moms are stay-at-home like me so we have people to play with and visit with through out the day. It's great! We go to our new ward for the first time this Sunday and we are looking forward to meeting our new church family. I'm sure they are wonderful.

The goal is to post pictures tomorrow, so check back soon. Oh - by the way, the plants I was bragging about growing are now dead. So sad.

It's almost moving day!

Postings have been scarce lately because of how busy we have been with packing, cleaning and all that stuff that goes with picking up your lives and planting your family somewhere else. As with all new home owners, there are unexpected repairs and needs that pop up, so we have been dealing with those this week. Yesterday we had the carpet replaced through out the house, we did not plan on that, however, on Sunday the carpets were professionally cleaned and suddenly we had a home that smelled like wet dog. By Tuesday the smell continued to linger so out the carpets went. This has all been a fun adventure, a little stressful, but it's a good time for the Trent's. Hope all is well with you, let us know what is going on with you. We move this Saturday. The phone numbers are all the same.

New Home

Last night Garett and I officially became home owners. Signing all the papers was not as terrible as I have heard. We had a great real estate agent who made the house buying process a breeze, a great lawyer who explained the mass of papers we signed, and great sellers who care. So this has been an enjoyable experience. Now we have lots of work to do. Mainly moving and getting settled, but that's a tough job. I'm excited to paint and decorate! I'll post pictures soon.

The Black Thumb of Death

Anyone who knows me well probably knows about my "Black Thumb of Death". Some of you, like my friend Cristina, know of it all too well. I have a knack for killing plants, not only my own, but others too. My reign of terror ended this past year when I successfully kept 5 of my mother's African Violets alive while she and Tim toured the USA. They did not bloom once while she was gone and I returned them in a sad shape - but they were alive! So I decided to try to grow some herbs hoping to help them grow and you know, not die. So here they are - super tiny but - that's right- alive! :)

Chives

Sweet Basil

Oregano

The one question I have is about the little bugs that are crawling around the plants.
Should I let them be or do I need to eliminate them?

Happy Birthday Nathan!

Happy 20th Birthday Nate! Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Love you!

A Hair Cut for Owen

Owen's hair has gotten out of control so we decided to go the economical route and cut his hair with Garett's beard trimmer. :) It doesn't look too much different, although it is obvious where his hair still isn't growing strong.

Oooooooo! It tickles!

Were almost done. :)
By now Owen is not paying any attention to the trimmer.
