A Visit from Nana

We have had a busy past couple of weeks but I thought I would take a chance to put in a quick post. We have managed to be almost completely settled into our new house. I think there may be some boxes that never get unpacked but then again, the random boxes in the playroom will serve as an obstacle course for the kids and improve their gross motor skills :).
John's mom came to visit last week which was fun. The kids loved getting to see their Nana and of course Nana had to spoil them with gifts. The kids' new favorite toy is this thing called the Smart Cycle. It is basically a stationary bike (for those of you too young to know what that is....it was what came before all the workout equipment of today :) ) that goes to a gaming system. They would spend hours on it every day if we
let them. We went to the Bicentennial Gardens and did some furniture shopping in High Point while Nana was here. Austin also had his first soccer game this past Saturday. I am pretty sure he had more fans there than anyone else (9 fans to be exact). I have to admit that he looked pretty cute in his soccer uniform although I am not completely sure he understands the exact rules of the game. He seemed more excited to run up and down the field than he did to actually try and get the ball. Unfortunately for his team, that seemed to be the sentiment of most the kids on his team ;).
