The beginning of Virginia

Starting life in Virginia was busy immediately. 

Spencer started playing baseball, and has enjoyed it the whole time. We think he'll want to do it again in Spring. Here he is showing off his cool sunglasses for baseball. 

Preston pretty much just was tired for a little while after getting here. It was hard to sleep in hotels and then in a new room. So during the day he would sometimes zonk out.

First day of fourth grade!!! He loves his school here too!!! His teacher is awesome, and he has been able to do very well while here so far. They do things a little different here than they did in NYC, but Spencer is catching on and up on things.

Since we live somewhat close to the school, Spencer is a walker. So Preston and I have this walk to do twice a day...which comes to 2 miles every day we are walking to take Spencer to and from school. Some days it's awesome to be surrounded by such beauty, some days it's a long way home. 

Preston loves to play with Spencer's backpack, and misses him lots during the day. 

Preston has also started to love being outside all the time. One day he got his play keys out to figure out how to unlock the door to get outside.

Spencer all decked out in his baseball uniform! Go Twins!!! They did REALLY well this year, even though a lot of the players on his team had never played before. It was fun to see how much he learned in just two months.
