Long Absense

I am sorry for my long silence, a lot has happened in the last month.

Here is a quick explanation of the last month.  Matt got a new job in Harrisonburg at the end of April.  Two days after we got the letter that he had gotten the job we had a POD in our driveway and a sign in our front yard saying House For Sale.  The next day Grace, Glen and I moved out of the house to my parents' spare bedrooms.  I did not want to have a call asking if they could show the house in 30 minutes and have a toddler refusing to put on clothes and an infant spitting up while trying to clean the house and get out.  So we left.

We were without Matt (except for weekends) for three weeks.  Then he started his job.  A week after he started his job we closed on our new house (May 11th).  But it was not till recently that we had internet access.  So I am sorry for the lack of blogs, but with all of the chaos of moving and no internet it was a forced vacation.

As a re-entry to the blogger world I will give a few stats and many pictures.

Grace and Glen went to the doctor this week and they are both healthy.  Grace is shorter than average but a normal determined 2 year old.  Glen is longer than average (he is the length of an average 9 month old and he is only 5 months!).
Glen helping out at the yard sale last weekend
Glen has been on food for a little over a month and he has been loving it.  He has eaten oatmeal, rice, pumpkin, banana, peas, cantaloupe, apple, pear, blueberries, and even a bit of chocolate :)

Glen is also a mover and a shaker, he is very proficient and rolling both ways and he army crawls to what he wants.  He also gets onto (almost) all fours and rocks as if he is going to crawl.  I have a feeling that boy is going to get into things quickly.

Grace is singing, dancing, talking, reciting parts of poems, identifying many letters and most numbers.  She is just shocking me daily with what she knows or can figure out.  But more than anything she loves to play with her brother and he loves to watch her around the house.
