All around THANKFUL!!!

All things considered, our 1600 mile drive from VA to TX went fairly well. Our first stop was at Samaritan's Purse in Boone, NC...AMAZING people and organization. We also had a chance to visit some friends in Atlanta (no picture though) and spent an extra day in Pensacola at the aviation museum and beach.

Kingsville, TX is the home of 25K people living in about 14 square miles. We see LOTS of farm animals (cows, donkeys, goats, zebras, horses) and cotton fields. The people here are extremely kind. We feel very blessed to be living in a small, quiet neighborhood on a big piece of property. The house is great and it is slowly feeling more like home.

The children seem to be adjusting fairly well. We've had a few setbacks, but nothing major and we're thankful for that. Although he doesn't show it at all during the day, Law is probably the most stressed. He started walking and talking in his sleep one night at the hotel. Generally, we figure it out when we go in to see why Ford is crying (because Law has woken him up) and find Law stomping around the room loudly proclaiming 'that he's looking for, that he's looking for' or just talking jibberish! Nothing from him these past two nights, so maybe he's settled in.

The gang with Scott Sunday afternoon.

Serious business....
Horsing around!
Feven lost her FIRST tooth! We were all surprised. No one knew it was loose!
Feeding the neighbors...this is the view out of the front door. The neighbor's horses graze on the unkept part of our rental property.
A group of 4 wild turkeys live in the neighborhood.
Helpful...
Silly!
Cute...both of them.

Enjoying the aviation museum.

Can't get enough of the pool.

Some critters, this Jersey girl can't quite get used to. This mouse and scorpion were pulled out of the pool skimmer. The snake at the backdoor was a little bothersome to me, but no one else seems too bothered by it.
