Too cool...Hey everybody!! It has been quite a while since I blogged. We have been very busy lately - more on that later. This last weekend my boys headed east back home to the mountains to visit Papaw, Jody and Mamaw (among others, of course). Toby went to help Jody do a few things on her condo and to do some visiting. Toby said Beau had a great time, especially at Papaw's farm. He loves to run around outside and apparently loves to ride the 4-wheeler (without a helmet - much to Mommy's dismay - Daddy has been scolded...).
The girls stayed home and had weekend of eating out and shopping with Mee-Mee, Aunt Ramona and Erica. I have probably packed on some poundage this weekend as we ate at J.Alexander's Friday night, The Cheesecake Factory Saturday afternoon, Kobe's Saturday night and Cracker Barrel Sunday after church! Isn't that ridiculous? I am about to pop!! Abby and I also went to her friend Little Howard's birthday party where Barney made an appearance on Saturday. Abby kept screaming "Don't touch me!" if Barney got too close to her. I think she was OK with him until she saw him take his purple hand off so he could use his human hand to tie a balloon animal. She started crying when she saw that and said to me, "Mommy, why is that man trapped inside of Barney?" The crying subsided but never completely stopped after that until he left the premises! The camera was with Daddy so, sadly, I have no pictures of our fun girls' weekend. Maybe next time...
Last but not least ---- Yes, we are moving south!! Toby has decided to accept an offer to do a pulmonolgy/critical care fellowship. We are not sure on exact moving times yet, but it will be before the end of the year for sure. The fellowship will be for three years, then we hope to head back home and be settled for good!! We are very excited as this is a great opportunity for Toby. Having said that, we also sold our house already!! We put it on the market for sale by owner and had not trouble at all! I feel like God has really blessed our family with this opportunity as well as with the easy sell of our house. Please keep us in your prayers as we are going through and will be continuing to go through a lot of change over the next few months! Start saving those frequent flyer miles to come visit - it will be a 10 hour drive home!!! Thanks to everyone for their support and words of encouragement as we embark on this new journey!

We are really excited for you guys! It will be great! I love all the pictures. Beau is so cute, we got to hang out with him for a little while. He gave Will his first Fruit Loops! I love Jody's hair, she had it back in a headband when we saw her, it looks really cute. It was so nice of her to babysit. Anyway, will call you soon!
What a fun weekend! I haven't said this to you yet, but I am so sad that y'all are moving. I really didn't want to say it because I'm so happy for you and Toby and don't want to make you feel sad. This is such a great opportunity for your family and I know it will be a great experience, but you will definitely be missed by so many people. I know what you mean about Beau being like Will. I can tell he is going to be ALL boy and very active! I laughed out loud when I read the part about Abby and Barney. She is so cute and the things she says are so funny. It's almost like she's a grown up in a little girl's body.
You are going to have to learn how to post videos and be a very active blogger when y'all move. We will want to see tons of updates.
The first thing I thought when I saw these pictures was "where is Beau's helmet?" I laughed when I then read what you wrote about it!! Looks like you guys are having lots of fun this summer. Oh yeah, thanks for making me cry with your sappy blog- I'm trying not to think about you moving.

I am soooooo sad to see you guys go but I know this is something Toby really wanted. It will be a new adventure and a time to make all kinds of new friends. You better come home often!!!!

Those pictures are great!!! I hope your move goes smoothly. I'm wondering....did the marshmallow hamburger taste good??
Sorry I'm so out of the loop- where exactly is "south"? I am happy for such an exciting opportunity for you all! We will definetly stay in touch through the blogs and email! I'll definetly be up for a visit too!! I think you said you were going to be out of town for the shower, so call me to catch up...
I will send you a pair, but the bead will be a little different and smaller. You get a family discount! ;)
