Our new surroundings =)

My point and shoot is being moody so I took most of these without being able to see what I was taking a picture of  ;)  but you can hopefully still get a taste of our little community, Medford.  I'm sure I will take more pictures soon, it is rather hard to try to portray our area with a little camera but here are a few!  I am amazed how close we are to the city and everything else yet it is still so pretty and green with lots of parks, trails, and trees.  We have discovered that everyone here loves dogs, eats healthy, and everyone works out.  Looks like we have some work to do! ha! 

Ahh! Thanks to Papaw and GramB for helping us pack like champs! 
TARGET!!!!  The Lord is good...it is probably half a mile from our apt. =)
Yes, you see it right...Texas roadhouse...funny! 
same shopping center...you can see the skyline of the city from the parking lot (not in this pic)
looks like the south, right?  Much of it feels so normal. =)
Driving into the shopping center.  Parks in the distance
benches, etc
going back to apartment (quite a few lanes, ugh?) =)
our apt complex from the road

a mall in Cambridge! Very close to the city.  The mall is three stories but not as long as the malls in the South.

Tanner's graduation!

Although we didn't have much time to celebrate in the midst of moving, there was much celebration going on in our hearts b/c we have waited for this moment for so long! I am realizing how busy we were even more every day we are here.  I am so glad we have been able to have some nice family time this past week.  We were very thankful for his parents help as we moved.  Curt was the master packer, and Brenda was a great help with Parker.  We are getting settled in fast and loving our new neighbors and community.  The Lord has given so much grace!  Here are a few pictures from graduation day.  I am working on getting pics up of life in Boston.  =) coming soon!  I can't spoil y'all with too many pics at once! ha! 

slightly out of order =)

Abbey graduated! Can't wait for her to get to Boston!



lol! He's all mine now...  ;)








Tanner and "THE ladies!" (standing on Dr. Akin's table in his office...i love it!!) Such rebels

partay!

16 mths!

Time if flying! I have been wanting to take pics of Parker for a while now but we have been soo busy with T finishing up school, work, and getting ready to move.  Also, we have been battling the dreaded colds and ear infections. boo. She put two words together this week for the first time..."bye bye daddy." He was not very excited about this phrase but she was so cute saying it over and over.  She also said her name for the first time...however, that was short lived, and she decided to start calling herself "baby."  I always call her "baby Parker" so when we ask her to say "Parker" she says....baby!  sooo cute!  We are headed to KY this from this Friday through Wednesday, then we are here for a week before the graduation celebration begins, and then we move!  Crazy! 

Please pray for our transition and that Parker will adjust well.  Enjoy the pics! Oh, and might I add...this was one of the hardest shoots b/c she was everywhere! She would purposefully run away from me and look the other way.  whew!
