Underneath the Boxes

Hey Fam,

How is everyone? We are all moved in-thanks for your calls. Most boxes are unpacked-not organized but unpacked! Kaobe and Ada had a tour of their school today and are excited to start tomorrow. Looks like a great school-I'm happy for them! Indy will hopefully start Friday or next week. We feel totally discombobulated-that you how you spell it? There are no neighbors under or next to us-no cars to scrape off and no flights of stairs to carry groceries up! You'd think we'd be in heaven but really we are in a stupor just taking this new life in! Our neighbors are very friendly as are most of the people we have come in contact with out here-we are so not in NJ anymore! People actually say thank you here!! I almost feel like I'm in happy valley!

Love you guys-hope Jess gets to Belgium safe and everyone is happy and healthy! Love, Amanda

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Tyson, you now have a phone message, an email, a facebook message and a blog...guess I covered the bases in wishing you a fun day. Love, grandma

Happy Birthday T!

We heard all you wanted for a party this year were some awesome Super Bowl snacks! We hope that you get them and that you have a great day! To add to your joy today, here is a list of some of our favorite memories of you...

- Meeting you for the very first time! Your dad brought you into the waiting room at the hospital looking so proud! You were so teeny and adorable and we were all so excited to meet you!!
- Watching you dance and sing in your Blues Clues outfit via webcam when you lived in Guam!
- Watching you play "Toy Story" in grandma's living room after they moved into their new house! You had all of the characters down perfectly!
- Watching your art develop! You have such amazing talent and we love to see the things that you have done!
- When I was visiting you in Germany you gave me a pretty good scare one night - you had gone to bed and I was talking to Nate on the phone and you kept throwing my sweatshirt over my shoulder... I had no idea how it was happening until you started giggling...
- Hanging out with you and playing cards with you!
- Your love for anything that had a character you could play - Nate loved when you played Star Wars and whacked him on the head with your light sabers.


Happy Birthday!

Love,
Nate & Clar

Happy Birthday Blake
