It was a long summer and we spent most of it in the car. Daddy started his Birmingham job in May (April really) and we still resided in Greensboro, NC. So we did a lot of driving back and forth from April to August. In August, thankfully our house had sold in NC and we bought a lovely home 2 miles from Mimi and PopPop in Alabama.
The long drives were remarkable in a lot of ways. But the most perfectly wonderful thing is Reif became excellent with his potty training. Not the ideal way to go about it, but whenever he needed to go, off to the side of the road we went. And with two dogs, two kids and a Mommy, facilitating bathroom breaks along a 9-hour drive was in fact an adventure.
Thankfully, the move is behind us and life in Birmingham could not be more wonderful. Reif and Pepper are enrolled in a lovely preschool, Mountain Chapel. We live very close to Mimi and Pop Pop so we get to see them all the time.
We have made great friends, big and small, and also joined a Mom's group which is a lot of fun. We do Kindermusik and Tae Kwon Do each week. And we even pulled off our first big play date at Halloween. Life is in full swing again and we could not be happier.
