My Little Ammon ...

Ammon is now five months old and is growing so fast. Where has my new born gone! He is just about crawling and is good at getting on his knees and rocking back and forth. In no way am I condoning this stage in his little life, but soon I will have to baby proof my home.

Cumberland Island Day Trip!

We signed Ben up for Cub Scouts and already this month has been full of activities. We were able to join Ben and the Pack on a tour of Cumberland Island last Saturday. The ferry ride over from St. Mary's is 45 minutes. Thankfully the weather held up and only started to rain just as we were ready to get on the ferry back home, but made a great cool day to walk around the island. We got to see the wild horses and see some armadillos.

Walking through the forest was fun as we got to look for shark teeth. They dredge the sea bottom and put it on the trails so we are not walking in mud. From the forest and the guided tour we got to walk on the boardwalk over the marsh and over to the sand dunes and then to the beach. The kids had a blast at the beach and got extremely wet but had to wait until we got back to the car to get dry clothes. It was cool to find some clam shells to take back home too.

The kids did well walking and Ammon hung on too with only a minor sunburn. Poor Baby! It was a great day. It was good to see Ben having fun with his Tiger Den buddies.

I Finally Did It!

I have been thinking about starting a blog for a long time now. I am by no means a brilliant writer or a writer at all, but I wanted to be able to share some family stories and some pictures since I am not an avid scrapbooker either. Since we moved into a new area and a new home and everything seems to be settling into a good routine I have started to blog.

We moved into our new home in the beginning of August and it feels great to be a homeowner of the most beautiful house on the block... I might be a little biased on that though. We have enjoyed the last two months here and are looking forward to some great years here although leaving behind Germany has been hard on all of us. We missed touring their great country and being able to go to places like Prague for the weekend.

Ben and Emily are enjoying their time in school. We made sure when choosing a place to live that they had good schools. Ben is soaking in the vast knowledge he gains at school and Emily is a proven social butterfly.

This year has also and most importantly brought a wonderful new bouncing baby boy into our lives. Ammon James was born in April. It has been a great new adventure having him join our family and we have enjoyed every minute.

It has been a learning experience so far, but as Cameron grasps ahold of his new job and the rest of us getting into a good routine we are enjoying what Georgia brings us.
