The kids had a wonderful time making TONS of goodies. We got to enjoy the goodies as well as some of our neighbors. A few of the things we made were, homemade cinnamon rolls, homemade dinner rolls, and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">biscuit's</span>, strawberry pie, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">molasses</span> and sugar cookies, homemade chicken and dumplings, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">marshmallow</span> pudding, had shrimp and lobster and many other things.

Jess took all the boys home so that Nanny and I could hit downtown. After stopping at a few shops and eating, we headed to grab everyone to go see some sights. We drove out to the Marine Institute and they had 5 seals to watch. They were studying them, so we took <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">advantage</span> and spent some time watching them. They are so cute and I can't believe people around here catch them and sell their flippers to eat.

I will <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">definitely</span> be taking advantage of the price of lobster around here while we live here.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEIjxSlqwhNrVU2gkEANVhqsO8o74yi_rpf8FJeDzlY7uR27s2DjSwo0jckZ72k1iNPgspYHzu_TNsjY19YycZ8JA0v028pJ1YRezDFgzF2OXFuTJAL_uV25tDcBwwDPZUAI-QHiFQ9uA/s1600/lobsters.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEIjxSlqwhNrVU2gkEANVhqsO8o74yi_rpf8FJeDzlY7uR27s2DjSwo0jckZ72k1iNPgspYHzu_TNsjY19YycZ8JA0v028pJ1YRezDFgzF2OXFuTJAL_uV25tDcBwwDPZUAI-QHiFQ9uA/s400/lobsters.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612497911794710098" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px; " /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibQ5ru61VyCGD9dSGpEcqFk99CeQJTJcr61EwuIgYmTJ7NAhTeyVIovX8KSZEaDbFaFmmjCxPq7xuKjy92fWHaUHb_tD904GN7AbcjyB45Jc-Shyphenhyphen4XWZWrAMAg8Jei9UAiWPt8iBNUwrY/s1600/winetime.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibQ5ru61VyCGD9dSGpEcqFk99CeQJTJcr61EwuIgYmTJ7NAhTeyVIovX8KSZEaDbFaFmmjCxPq7xuKjy92fWHaUHb_tD904GN7AbcjyB45Jc-Shyphenhyphen4XWZWrAMAg8Jei9UAiWPt8iBNUwrY/s400/winetime.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612497902814429122" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px; " /></a>We enjoyed lots of mommy drinks as the kids call it while she was here.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiNKBUscf3csLUmqNM-tDogztZAEID8XoJVpHHC8BSRQ7YvR-E_FKgEGWs9bY3J7-KILjGEaNxlLZr_hCobY7ytWg3JvSB2gi1MzWBEl4tqXrOMV_oN1owTVpagpUYNwiCpTEBxNoHTwQ/s1600/IMG_1024.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiNKBUscf3csLUmqNM-tDogztZAEID8XoJVpHHC8BSRQ7YvR-E_FKgEGWs9bY3J7-KILjGEaNxlLZr_hCobY7ytWg3JvSB2gi1MzWBEl4tqXrOMV_oN1owTVpagpUYNwiCpTEBxNoHTwQ/s400/IMG_1024.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612495126310282658" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px; " /></a><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGL_jqupckl6S4o-uAfsG0mpSEXqF54yDGU1ADP-Q5KjYWFix6fjKSQWcTnM0-YHag52nZaSgqAMCU81EHyGoHGaeFNpY3DPNIPFYLC1TbqgBTl88iEjCoTuJEy7kenmvwYmricggSA5o/s400/IMG_1029.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612498471685623154" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_eHue8oyhTHoez7M9iVUmI3R6yW02bYn4Y482stwxobS20eUJEtUs5O4Qo7AML9N3_3I6qjzvx_PlYElhvkerNkDFwE5wQ0YbdA_zpPKIfvXNkSH3VE9IzvCBg4SViHaw-iubpp3XRME/s400/IMG_1035.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612498478136634930" style="text-align: left; display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px; " /></span></div></div><div>Carter finally came close to the lobster once they were ready to eat and couldn't move anymore.

Just yesterday I got married to my wonderful best friend and found out that I was expecting a new bundle just 3 months later. And now 8 years later we have been blessed with three wonderful, amazing, carefree boys. And when I mean boys, they are ALL BOY!! Still don't know what kind of little guy we will have on our hands with Myatt, but if he follows in Drake and Carter's steps, he won't stop. As the older two live outside. It takes a fight to get them in at night, rain or snow. Thank heavens I like to be outside also. These three keep us on our toes and there is NEVER a dull moment at our home. With the older two they have a few similarities, the love of outdoors and sports, but Drake is our shy guy and takes a while to warm up, where Carter wants to be the next Justin Bieber, the center of attention. I hope Myatt is a good mix of both of them, I guess we will see soon. I thank God for giving us these precious gifts, three of my favorite things.....The Richards Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12346222955620069226noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424338400616739822.post-87791418266232189472011-05-26T07:09:00.000-07:002011-05-26T07:10:32.129-07:00Myatt 5 months<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39558581@N07/5761939904/" title="Myatt5monthstoryboard by sorichards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2649/5761939904_7a6b638545.jpg" width="500" height="438" alt="Myatt5monthstoryboard"></a>The Richards Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12346222955620069226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424338400616739822.post-29843266794817253312011-05-18T17:59:00.000-07:002011-05-18T18:00:44.755-07:00HUMMM..<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQwzGSZAXAfFXtPTq-5AvAwOKVsChZHg01qJAjqWgOBFaPLR1-jzQ6fkBPevzgHT2XlzvjCsATkgQREYrenUnJaZyYMzSs5pdi_Y-7CxCP_hLetQfQX1jyNOssOMtTs1E-8ZK7pbk3H6U/s1600/Untitled-1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQwzGSZAXAfFXtPTq-5AvAwOKVsChZHg01qJAjqWgOBFaPLR1-jzQ6fkBPevzgHT2XlzvjCsATkgQREYrenUnJaZyYMzSs5pdi_Y-7CxCP_hLetQfQX1jyNOssOMtTs1E-8ZK7pbk3H6U/s400/Untitled-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608225789515880242" border="0" /></a>The Richards Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12346222955620069226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424338400616739822.post-19697193640127246932011-05-18T17:15:00.000-07:002011-05-18T17:44:19.212-07:00Mother's Day...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUHNzwXEVL0n0EvPFsooyIS8Qpb5XT28SSwQ-15iMjQwMhheoY6_dJEX15H14QwKcRLN1DTDglFT8GeVy1QAeXFP6tPPzbwd_-k9-1xZ5qhioIxzU1dqklWgm7nehVW0AQ-gPxBY0YIYU/s1600/momandboys.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUHNzwXEVL0n0EvPFsooyIS8Qpb5XT28SSwQ-15iMjQwMhheoY6_dJEX15H14QwKcRLN1DTDglFT8GeVy1QAeXFP6tPPzbwd_-k9-1xZ5qhioIxzU1dqklWgm7nehVW0AQ-gPxBY0YIYU/s320/momandboys.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608215599523430066" border="0" /></a><br />We had a wonderful mother's day here in St. John's.

It has been restored to its 1839 appearance and shows how a lightkeeper and his family might have lived in the mid-19th century. The Visitor Centre contains exhibits on the history of lighthouses and the tradition of lightkeeping. The site is surrounded by spectacular scenery and wildlife such as whales, seabirds and icebergs in season.<br /><br />We are hoping to head up there again soon and see whales and icebergs, as a few icebergs are headed our way.<br /><br />I think this picture is so neat, so I thought I would edit it a bit...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipMx3hCkVyRytYBTwaz2KE1zR_l4tAjVj61jYrN7CFh4aREIrC6zdqWJR5lXk95Ltw8m9IwY1BZq49t7haptGew-4okmunoBaHvbOsQ0WfyTDxXr3wFeD7BjW7IDu-oBkmZY3YxOkzdZ0/s1600/carterlighthouseedit.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 507px; height: 338px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipMx3hCkVyRytYBTwaz2KE1zR_l4tAjVj61jYrN7CFh4aREIrC6zdqWJR5lXk95Ltw8m9IwY1BZq49t7haptGew-4okmunoBaHvbOsQ0WfyTDxXr3wFeD7BjW7IDu-oBkmZY3YxOkzdZ0/s400/carterlighthouseedit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608220930463281458" border="0" /></a>The Richards Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12346222955620069226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424338400616739822.post-28351064086261170942011-05-18T16:45:00.000-07:002011-05-18T17:06:44.549-07:00Choir Contest<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQodeBLD_t0_I2M2xRYn_w4n6nWQ22M9r7FvGaKdrTE_VlxPL1YGP-MWW9cdDYuZztKFcyC_IKVu131uC5qll7c1M6n38zhpF3wmCb7ANOXf3c6XZgJ0wVOEiASsDdZc4y-hglpVDO-4g/s1600/IMG_0807.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQodeBLD_t0_I2M2xRYn_w4n6nWQ22M9r7FvGaKdrTE_VlxPL1YGP-MWW9cdDYuZztKFcyC_IKVu131uC5qll7c1M6n38zhpF3wmCb7ANOXf3c6XZgJ0wVOEiASsDdZc4y-hglpVDO-4g/s320/IMG_0807.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608211781251376850" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4M3TEPFxssBvXTfo8ClkN9U44FbBhPPYtgji6Yxmi84abPY9mEPHgyHdQf2T5RcjwxGwN1TY-UPXeBoiD5iFI4co8DVWJfbvttIgBAiESTBJNgb_lQL8hrt4j3tWx19dmXS2u-rWpqnU/s1600/IMG_0803.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4M3TEPFxssBvXTfo8ClkN9U44FbBhPPYtgji6Yxmi84abPY9mEPHgyHdQf2T5RcjwxGwN1TY-UPXeBoiD5iFI4co8DVWJfbvttIgBAiESTBJNgb_lQL8hrt4j3tWx19dmXS2u-rWpqnU/s320/IMG_0803.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608210977424656194" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJsYb9uSBASe-Wc9IjVLt8l8L2n7IJVx1KBqlzGxT_NdGu1y0vyvB9gn9gDDlpHvA1ASS6coze19Mb9Eb_clsz7soEm2exqJdnyKgAeTQkqStKNa72hqjclMQmsemOihuFqR37GaSNTpQ/s1600/IMG_0799.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJsYb9uSBASe-Wc9IjVLt8l8L2n7IJVx1KBqlzGxT_NdGu1y0vyvB9gn9gDDlpHvA1ASS6coze19Mb9Eb_clsz7soEm2exqJdnyKgAeTQkqStKNa72hqjclMQmsemOihuFqR37GaSNTpQ/s320/IMG_0799.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608210973806840322" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF7siFUMkeFRwwfzBqZqmE7qFA79PntPTqnsy5vnWL4E04KoL3NNgpDylU1ahrIOwG_HMqknxIFH_ao_S4XgBch13QwPSAOr5VSaFSvx51t6Lp5ycmMdTwr7EKjEdkVMeTgRRCGrRTkMo/s1600/IMG_0790.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF7siFUMkeFRwwfzBqZqmE7qFA79PntPTqnsy5vnWL4E04KoL3NNgpDylU1ahrIOwG_HMqknxIFH_ao_S4XgBch13QwPSAOr5VSaFSvx51t6Lp5ycmMdTwr7EKjEdkVMeTgRRCGrRTkMo/s320/IMG_0790.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608210295386713154" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMcGq-RP3tQ6V-0vOOuSh0hbSv1Zz-LckpVDBA3YiwCskkUNeLSzpUMlQifGb5Dfz74G7WC0oRBPvue75IyeD-9EX90keO5b5SydDCbqVAjQww-OP-AJbZjAA0_u39Ge5uU_cUsnBjI3E/s1600/IMG_0789.JPG"><br /></a><br />Drake sang in a choir contest the other night for the local Rotary Club. The kids did an amazing job and sounded so beautiful. They sang three songs and their last was from the Sound of Music. DO REA ME FA SEW LA TEA DO. I think everyone can remember singing this loved by all song as a child. Drake's school choir, which consisted of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades, brought me to tears with this song. They had different harmonies going, which amazed us all for such young children. We are so proud of all he has done at St. Bon's.The Richards Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12346222955620069226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424338400616739822.post-68678761347544849962011-05-01T08:14:00.000-07:002011-05-15T14:56:12.695-07:004 MonthsWhere has the time gone? I can't believe our sweet little Myatt has been with us for the last four months. We are extremely blessed with this sweet boy.<br />* Myatt weighs 18 pounds 5.5 ounces, Height 66, and is in the 90%.<br />Sleeping isn't great for Myatt. He likes to still wake up every 2 1/2- 3 hours to eat. He is a great nurser, and is very happy after eating. Both of our other boys were fuss bugs with formula so nursing has worked great for Myatt. During tummy time he is pushing up and he is enjoying his bumbo chair. He is doing really great at grabbing toys and watching the boys as they run around. He has started a little cereal which he loves. We still can't tell what color hair he is going to have. Some days it looks very blonde, some days you can see some strawberry in it. I really am thinking we will not be getting a red head. Also at the moment he still takes after his older brother Drake with his baby blue eyes. Myatt doesn't really fuss much. We really have been blessed with a good, laid back baby.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39558581@N07/5722170925/" title="myatt birth by sorichards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/5722170925_c1fecb5835.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="myatt birth"></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39558581@N07/5722730398/" title="Myatt 1 month by sorichards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/5722730398_5a48024d50.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Myatt 1 month"></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39558581@N07/5677003237/" title="2myatt4 by sorichards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5103/5677003237_46b829394f.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="2myatt4"></a>The Richards Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12346222955620069226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424338400616739822.post-34565653496442309982011-04-28T15:25:00.000-07:002011-04-28T15:47:06.717-07:00Our First Hockey Game.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGcZ6awuFaN7ZEv7eSB8hYPjK_ms7CRHqnDS5eGgSiv-v8D40eC2ywBsHzZwBXafPg2v6DI1jzbpVNcwE0MHN3Mka25t2qFU-wKaNb6ON9-83bQTbhCkltHKbb1aMCu-EaHLDl1hbxFF4/s1600/IMG_0560.JPG"><img style="display: block;

It was so much fun and amazed how quick it went by. It was the National <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Midget</span> Hockey Championship game. These are players that are trying to get in the NHL, and we were amazed how well these young guys could play. So to say the least it was exciting to watch. Heck one guy had to leave because he had his nose broken and there was blood everywhere. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Myatt</span> even got to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">participate</span> in his first game too. He did awesome and the big boys too. They liked to be in the suite we were in because there was food at all times and tons to drink. Drake has taken a love for hockey, so he sat next to me and every time something happen he said, Mom did you see that, that was a ..... It was great. Carter thought that the guys dressed up like power rangers were so cool, that he has decided he wants to be a power ranger for Halloween. I guess it's better than some things he could choose. I think there will be many more hockey games in our future, which I am excited about. In this same box we are taking the kids to see the Monster Jam on my birthday in May and then we are attending Reba in September. One thing nice about the Mile One Center is you are up close and personal with everything.

The kids dyed eggs as they always do and they enjoyed that. Easter Eve night Carter ran around telling us that he needed to go to bed or the Easter Bunny would hop by our house. So worried that his Easter basket would be empty on Easter morning. After they got there sweet treats and nick knacks they hunted eggs. Since we were suppose to get snow the next morning, Mr. Easter Bunny had put eggs in the house to hunt. The boys enjoyed there hunt, especially when they found the eggs that hand money in them. We cooked an amazing lunch. Jess had a prime rib going, while I had a ham in the oven. We also had homemade Mac and Cheese (Anita' roonies), rice and gravy, rolls, and don't forget Carter's Easter Cake. We had a TON of food and boy was it wonderful. We ate on it a few days. We also listened to our church from home on the Internet. River Pointer Pastor Patrick Kelley was amazing as always. We haven't found a church here yet so the internet had to do, and we knew that Patrick would not disappoint us. We had an amazing Easter as a new family of 5. Having Myatt and his first Easter with us was just the icing on the cake and so special.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39558581@N07/5666654186/" title="boys copy by sorichards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5221/5666654186_fc47e697f2.jpg" alt="boys copy" height="333" width="500" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Our Sweet Boy Blessings<br /></div><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39558581@N07/5654688680/" title="Myatt by sorichards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5225/5654688680_886d7b9cbc.jpg" alt="<span class=" error="" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39558581@N07/5654098143/" title="myatt3 by sorichards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5267/5654098143_87ddb73ca9.jpg" alt="<span class=" error="" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39558581@N07/5654669794/" title="myatt2 by sorichards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5269/5654669794_a13d5ee783.jpg" alt="<span class=" error="" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39558581@N07/5666651422/" title="myatt5 by sorichards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5309/5666651422_6bdf608543.jpg" alt="<span class=" error="" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">And it wouldn't be complete without our<br />sweet Myatt in a Easter Bubble!!</div>The Richards Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12346222955620069226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424338400616739822.post-61207261882622672072011-04-25T11:08:00.000-07:002011-04-28T12:27:02.908-07:00The next great cake baker!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZUoM_3o_B5D6V3zKnlz7IiyUbI4G0T-NzmJruc-hFReLhog_yZ719puWSwhyphenhyphenLwzv1D8E221pLyz_B3WfkocvRhMNtoinfAD_sjLEFtYRecwx4MxG1kAtjojLpcdUhYrSaVPx3ix5Yqt8/s1600/IMG_0172.JPG"><img style="display: block;

I wanted to make Banana Pudding, because the kids and I love it so. But some of the items that I needed for the recipe that I use, could not be found at the three stores I went to. So that idea got scratched and a cake got placed on our menu. At least we tried to get a little festive dying the icing a Easter Spring color. I just supervised Carter, but he did it all. He was so proud of his cake!The Richards Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12346222955620069226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424338400616739822.post-60463597737721980202011-04-20T10:49:00.000-07:002011-04-20T10:58:44.618-07:00Amazing Views...It seems like every night we have a new view of the water with each being spectacular in it's own way. These are some of the amazing sunsets we have been seeing lately. I could just sit and stare for hours at the amazement of the colors in the sky and the reflection on the water. Jess and I catch ourselves saying, grab the camera, look at that. We want to capture it while we can because we don't see this at our home in Texas.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39558581@N07/5637860117/" title="IMG_9792 by sorichards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5262/5637860117_0379f9da52.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="IMG_9792"></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39558581@N07/5637859555/" title="IMG_9114 by sorichards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5147/5637859555_0770af4457.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="IMG_9114"></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39558581@N07/5637847365/" title="boysview2 by sorichards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5190/5637847365_d01b4ea618.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="boysview2"></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39558581@N07/5637846503/" title="boysview by sorichards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5229/5637846503_78304a2d36.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="boysview"></a>The Richards Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12346222955620069226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424338400616739822.post-25385725076156634812011-04-20T10:33:00.000-07:002011-04-20T10:37:13.491-07:00Here comes Myatt Cottontail...I found an Easter outfit that I had gotten Myatt right after he was born to wear in April. Glad I got it out because I don't think he will be able to fit in it much longer. The hat was WAY TOO SMALL, but I think he still made an adorable bunny. Drake and Carter kept asking him where he hid the eggs. We all got a kick of how adorable he was.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39558581@N07/5637771840/" title="easterbunnymyatt2 by sorichards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5301/5637771840_1553de879f.jpg" width="367" height="500" alt="easterbunnymyatt2"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39558581@N07/5637770672/" title="Easterbunny Myatt by sorichards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5222/5637770672_04c74ccd39.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Easterbunny Myatt"></a>The Richards Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12346222955620069226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424338400616739822.post-91328096416709303432011-04-19T12:20:00.001-07:002011-04-19T13:12:33.808-07:00Sweet Myatt is growing up.Our Sweet Baby Myatt is growing up in front of our eyes!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39558581@N07/5635252553/" title="Sweet Myatt copy by sorichards, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5183/5635252553_4393e3a189.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Sweet Myatt copy"></a>The Richards Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12346222955620069226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424338400616739822.post-63515204366399621452011-04-19T09:54:00.000-07:002011-04-19T12:01:06.886-07:00Middle Cove Beach-St. John's Canada<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtIqLLMCOa3Xuc6hfc2G9NAhVUZHZkZanj9xfv8LlYMUiBD7VuLj8bF-sfQyZNqq-sw6rSYvnwq7ZZlBzpraEDx7MVMQGQbnE2asKmuMxktceV0_E4CTVkUbCMj7jYajSHqLasRnxT5L4/s1600/oceansign.jpg"><img style="display: block;

With everyone in tow we went for a Sunday drive to the beach. Got lost a few times, but thank heavens Jess had a map handy. Once we got there, it was breathtaking. Just amazing to sit there and stare at the water and the monster waves. Everything was so blue. The beach is not like the beach that we grew up with, instead of sand it has a ton of small smooth rocks. Jess said they are so smooth as the tumble through the waves. The boys enjoyed running around and throwing rocks, but on this day it was VERY windy. It is always windy around here, but this was one of those bone chilly windy days so <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Myatt</span> got to look at the view from the car. Jess and I kept taking turns holding him, while the other went out with the big boys. They were enjoying running out and in with the waves as the tide rolled back and forth. The water was freezing and since it was so cold out that we didn't want them to get wet so they were being very careful. But that one 'last time' before we left, Jess and I were loaded in the car, took Carter by surprise and down he went. Straight into the water. SOAKED from head to toe. He was freezing and so upset. As Jess ran for him, this sweet man grabbed him out of the water, not that he would of been out to sea, but to get him out of the cold. We brought him to the car, undressed him, gave him <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Myatt's</span> blanket, and blasted the heater the whole way home while the rest of us were pouring with sweat. It will always be one of those <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">memorable</span> days, not only for seeing the amazing views, but also for allowing Carter to take his first dip in the freezing Atlantic Ocean.The Richards Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12346222955620069226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424338400616739822.post-12335722714896912102011-04-18T08:08:00.001-07:002011-04-18T15:19:08.995-07:00A beautiful family walk.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQtDT3jyYhoDV0z5LZCVzodIa6GbUMGvtM7G_2RACoLK8hbyNHeeq_Gcp38LZvXCrX53v6lAN6FbtTDCg9O8OvH_z9qhrbeLTbEEqONaCVHOOUW7iQregvXs0HjTBumAFZexL0oUSZrx4/s1600/IMG_0465.jpg"><br /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6V9SsBBXNWnmZusWmFU1JMCk6PkgJ7TfjCAVS77T_bS7Ve-uANhe_0_qSqRKJbb3GUamZvERasivkKqCDI7gGjPItv2VANsZywlG60ehcupiHmHLZq7Qg06wZYikGUDAukJ0Ix2hemjE/s1600/IMG_0439.jpg"><img style="display: block;

We only live a mile down the street from the water so off we went. It was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Myatt's</span> first time in a stroller without a car seat and he loved it as you can see. He had just woken up from a long nap so I thought that he would be up, but I was wrong. Baby boy was crashed when we returned home. Many times Jess and I told the boys that we needed to turn around as we didn't think they would make it all the way down and back home. But they surprised us and did well. It is one of those things, that once you go down, you must go back up. It took us a while to go back up the hill and I can say my legs were pounding but we had great views, and a decent workout. It is still pretty chilling out, around 30F, but we are looking forward to it heating up a bit and enjoying the patio while the children play outside. We have really enjoyed living out here in St. Philips with the amazing views of Conception Bay.The Richards Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12346222955620069226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424338400616739822.post-50402253001370424572011-04-13T06:17:00.000-07:002011-04-13T06:22:04.800-07:00Happy Anniversary!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhDzCISXMs837lb2h4qRUTFVMQ6RBsek6dp-eluuhoheDXkz1pLW30qR_NMk5gi2mrXs_sPEGsZb5PKhc9vMeLjL6E0MWdMVLWB0Z1CIzIKqf1-MQLQIbHEoL8pHp-h_MA3nSTkGEyfBM/s1600/St.+Patty%2527s+day+%252812+of+2%2529.jpg"><br /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4R8xBsQfvAyPPmheUEDXsknLCzTAOCOZQEYfO0CTlxR5mA469kfal0yUzIdrYpG0CCXHM7bENt5U7J5XnqeOwp73Su9-qgBrm08yvDHtDI3Pn_crPKzrrGq0koXoWLgIxzc1YR8zcjuQ/s1600/IMG_0106.JPG"><img style="display: block;

I tell Jess that I am waiting for the other shoe to drop with him, but it hasn't yet.<br /><br />Drake is finishing up his 2<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">nd</span> grade year and has done <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">extremely</span> well. His reading has taken off like a rocket this year. We have been amazed by the stuff he picks up and reads. Math is coming around. Not his favorite subject, but does well. He still has the love for the outdoors and wants to be outside any chance he gets. Now that we have moved to Canada I thought that he would be in more because of the cold, but it hasn't happened. Just bundle him up and he will be out all day. Drake still loves baseball and golf, but is picking up hockey here in Canada. He said he even may pay when we get back in Sugar Land at the rink there. He has done wonderfully with the move. I always worried about him since he is our shy and quiet child, but that has not been the case. He has jumped right in and made some great friends, and even talking like his friends. The Texan accent has been pushed to the wayside and he sounds like a little Canadian.<br /><br />Even though we celebrated his birthday at home before with left with his buddies, we had a little party here with one of his friends. We went to one of the local places here in St. John's, Montana's, and for your birthday they put moose horns on you and sing. He was so <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">embarrassed</span>, as he still gets <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">embarrassed</span> when he is the center of attention, but we had to celebrate.<br /><br />Happy Birthday Drake, we love you to the moon and back!!!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeUfUAU0nb7k5iVIDyolTcHlUjDA-54H0PEqr0pHDdbJebbe4vwTxeeAQSiPIiPrJQrp8Q8bkP8cWfvu_VVZdXB-g1NRzqu4bG4f00Z_X6SgWCrFHdzn-V41RRVSZqEg7BEN797mpn2j4/s1600/IMG_9824.jpg"><img style="display: block;

Really in my life the only time I have been around snow is the two ski trips that I have been on. So to see the whole transformation was amazing. Drake got a snow day the morning of the snow, which you think would of been perfect but I was already up and dressed and there was no snow in sight. Boy was I wrong. Lunch time came and the snow started blowing. And after a few hours of steady downfall of snow the boys begged to go out and play. Fresh snow, they were so excited. They surely enjoyed the snow till dinner time and again for the next few days. So far it has been exciting, beautiful, and a wonderful new adventure, but I can see how the snow can get old fast.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinsOW-Xs16JLOIv0cZKVkN4zQwR1C3RcWLu9Hi_oZTQ3XVVouko0mNJBjIR5kLwKs6ziJuo5cooYzQnhKQRtghNAoipKb1UeDtcKWKskqXVoLn9aubCnk0wrGX-CtwRx6Z8-YokiaMako/s1600/IMG_9276.jpg"><img style="display: block;

St. Bon's has their own rink that the kids get to use during the school day. Drake was so excited about skating. They have 'push carts' to use to get around the ice for beginners, but last week he said he didn't use the cart at all. He is getting good and when he gets really good he gets to take his hockey stuff and play hockey during skating time. Jess got to go up and watch him on Friday so we got some pictures of him skating. Jess said that it is amazing how these kids can skate at such a young age. But from what I have heard about kids here is that when you learn to walk, you learn to skate. He also said that Drake was so sweaty when they were done. The get to skate for an hour and he never stopped. I am hoping to get over there this Wednesday to watch him.<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyZ_I-A15bPOw12HFcabq_8ptAEOzkWRtcy8bBkwnmdVVejdzYrNtsiskrf05r3dzu9z_jpwNkvK3xzo2JLbA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>The Richards Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12346222955620069226noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424338400616739822.post-59337544247304119452011-03-15T12:52:00.000-07:002011-03-15T13:14:40.604-07:00Faces of Myatt<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiliK-_qqoRbbcNXSInBodISm05tEz7FY3bC-l7pcXDyPGB6mBmk3yUOb5UOCfCkkTl8012hyphenhyphenvrAu3NwMukwihcrNbnKVrVadWQB-hJIvak7PW26DV3WHQ3aaJUoCqU22hMB-7qg-Nln1U/s1600/Myatt+%25285+of+5%2529.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiliK-_qqoRbbcNXSInBodISm05tEz7FY3bC-l7pcXDyPGB6mBmk3yUOb5UOCfCkkTl8012hyphenhyphenvrAu3NwMukwihcrNbnKVrVadWQB-hJIvak7PW26DV3WHQ3aaJUoCqU22hMB-7qg-Nln1U/s320/Myatt+%25285+of+5%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584401638541440690" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIhRu84YJl0gtMqINHjhfWSVavmQm15S5nHGEn_QEco2dU-lZDTeQFiFl_AXosLZMVbNDvuDnlkT5lH5np-tZCQBk_v6trL_h86L2y-PwR0TASxmpbpvcaVEw9UvdNojUer9Jy2MGN0zM/s1600/Myatt+%25284+of+5%2529.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIhRu84YJl0gtMqINHjhfWSVavmQm15S5nHGEn_QEco2dU-lZDTeQFiFl_AXosLZMVbNDvuDnlkT5lH5np-tZCQBk_v6trL_h86L2y-PwR0TASxmpbpvcaVEw9UvdNojUer9Jy2MGN0zM/s320/Myatt+%25284+of+5%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584400910101925186" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghbEjlE84vm6gKxkHBBWcHuSYPyP3rX9Z3uATMSPmA8ufyRsWFtb6RHj7fhdCt2rEx6PhrkMgVAjYZ97kRVNomTvimwFUF7lV_FiAy1xt-uAfPtvK9m1En6PmWjsub-kjOOQBCay-Unbo/s1600/Myatt+%25283+of+5%2529.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghbEjlE84vm6gKxkHBBWcHuSYPyP3rX9Z3uATMSPmA8ufyRsWFtb6RHj7fhdCt2rEx6PhrkMgVAjYZ97kRVNomTvimwFUF7lV_FiAy1xt-uAfPtvK9m1En6PmWjsub-kjOOQBCay-Unbo/s320/Myatt+%25283+of+5%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584400473993846226" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsuJibMEZyIj5OOEDDA7jhyrTS3S5Coh6JWwTkFB5iCVkjeOx2A8ML7gTwEiyTpQFfHBatlsGvMfGftgoD5vnfMR39SM55V5VSTdKnqzc1yrm1QpCXt9sDXpFmGIrvOHgcOEH1H1jb1cI/s1600/Myatt+%25282+of+5%2529.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsuJibMEZyIj5OOEDDA7jhyrTS3S5Coh6JWwTkFB5iCVkjeOx2A8ML7gTwEiyTpQFfHBatlsGvMfGftgoD5vnfMR39SM55V5VSTdKnqzc1yrm1QpCXt9sDXpFmGIrvOHgcOEH1H1jb1cI/s320/Myatt+%25282+of+5%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584400162103221810" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQqx5y1A0dTjYWZQgtFG3dX2uYfkf6aufEGWFkFVHBuRSbSTP2IZtxUR1__Hfl_IDjVp2FByQ4v6CZF22L3hgOL54p5xBPOwwKdRra2ponOy6ruIR4PLR7Zr4hl7rFtx6NJOz6u97MnlM/s1600/Myatt+%25281+of+5%2529.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQqx5y1A0dTjYWZQgtFG3dX2uYfkf6aufEGWFkFVHBuRSbSTP2IZtxUR1__Hfl_IDjVp2FByQ4v6CZF22L3hgOL54p5xBPOwwKdRra2ponOy6ruIR4PLR7Zr4hl7rFtx6NJOz6u97MnlM/s320/Myatt+%25281+of+5%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584399856078969010" border="0" /></a>I thought that I would share a few of the sweet faces of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Myatt</span> from this morning.

Drake is attending <a href="http://www.stbonaventurescollege.ca/">St. Bonaventure's </a>and enrolled in 2<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">nd</span> grade. Last week he got to go in and have a sneak peek of the class and he said he was nervous. When your child says they are nervous, it makes mommy nervous. So Monday started with a nervous mom and child, but excited also. Dad met us at the school and all 5 of us went in and took him to class. Mrs. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Spurvy</span> his teacher was out sick, but the sub greeted us and said everything was ready for him. She had sat him next to a boy named Andrew, and his daddy works with Jess at the office. Drake and Andrew have become big buds. It seems like we were nervous for no reason. He has fit right in and is always so happy about school when I pick him up. They do a 7 day rotation and in those 7 days, 3 are gym days. On gym days he gets to wear his gym clothes all day. But above is pictures of him in his official dress. Which he whines about the tie, but wears it with a smile. Drake even gets to go ice skating during gym days. So know he owns his own ice skates and helmet. He said it is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">weird</span> to ice skate, but he is doing so well. Carter keeps begging for ice skates, so I think we will be getting him a pair soon and will head to the local rink. Many people around here skate on the ponds, but it is warmer up so indoor we will go. <br /><br />Carter is going three days a week to a school here called Early Achievers. The <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">immerse</span> him in letters, numbers, patterns, and flash cards. At first when we went to visit the school he said he didn't want to go back, but after the first day he loved it. He came running out and said that he had a blast and that he was getting super smart. The only downfall of his program is that it is in the afternoon from 1:30-4:30 so I get to do a lot of driving around. We live a little out, so I just can't run back home. We will make it work. Plus on Friday's Jess is doing all the pick ups for me. That makes me a happy mommy. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Myatt</span> and I can run home and nap in the quiet house with no extra feet running around.<br /><br />So far everyone is happy with their school's. Next year Carter will be a Kindergartner at St. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Bon's</span> with Drake. Since the cut off here is Dec to be 5, he gets to go since he turns 5 in Oct. He is so excited about that, because he thinks Drake's school is the coolest since they ice skate. I honestly don't know if they do ice skate at Kinder, but he will be in the big school with brother all day, and my running will be cut down to twice a day.<br /><br />One thing we are still trying to get use to is the changing of shoes. At both schools they have to wear a pair of boots, and then change and leave them in their locker or <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">cubbie</span> and put on other shoes so the floors won't get slick. When they go outside they change again, and again when they come in. So you have to juggle a ton of shoes and throw on the jackets and hats. I totally understand why they do it, but it still makes me totally frustrated.

The kids are LOVING this place and it helps that there are lots of neighbor kids to play with.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUwLCVZkX54KZICncO5NbmHtMbh5AmcZ9lUbDX6EVTkTUPJDjRXDKbB4h3xv4hFac9sx028p-5RmPzrqXLoIXEP1MbVEwVudeFPeA_QKLzLDNwCuBAfQCTRxdp7VUumoYaKLeftX3xHoY/s1600/IMG_0264.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUwLCVZkX54KZICncO5NbmHtMbh5AmcZ9lUbDX6EVTkTUPJDjRXDKbB4h3xv4hFac9sx028p-5RmPzrqXLoIXEP1MbVEwVudeFPeA_QKLzLDNwCuBAfQCTRxdp7VUumoYaKLeftX3xHoY/s320/IMG_0264.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581355111092557250" border="0" /></a><br />The night we landed here it was cold and wet and I wondered where the heck we were. Honestly the home sickness hit and felt like I was so out of sorts. New place, no food, just out of my element. But Jess ran to town and grabbed <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">McDonald's</span> for the family. I was amazed at the price of our meal. $27 dollars for two burgers, fries, 1 happy meal, and then an order of nuggets. WOW! Can you say everything is expensive around here. I will def. be cooking every night. After full tummies we got in our <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Jammie's</span> and headed to bed. The boys in there new rooms. Drake choose the football room, Carter the skateboard room, and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Myatt</span> has the monkey room.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYQbxSNfwpZrfNYKhEy04F-ZvSZlQiWqlFVng34LYW7kbtpp_3yhT0P0FXkZzlE9CKwhny7TS5_d5JvcSDRN3kNmuUB9et2fYDy2CBN5tIK1TMHrsXy99v009F684uS1ihVh6WUYDwRvc/s1600/St.+Johns+%25282+of+18%2529.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQp0rm0qQY-saGurPdud-V5kDxjMq8MrL2Eh4pXx7h17HZixITxi7EyDoHdXahhU9253Lx8CKcMb_HjiwkzlrqQB4jPTn9iCN63Ya_cGp-AnF7b0oF3TKwMl6V-E0JwNLuQI8buwgCOP8/s1600/IMG_0261.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQp0rm0qQY-saGurPdud-V5kDxjMq8MrL2Eh4pXx7h17HZixITxi7EyDoHdXahhU9253Lx8CKcMb_HjiwkzlrqQB4jPTn9iCN63Ya_cGp-AnF7b0oF3TKwMl6V-E0JwNLuQI8buwgCOP8/s320/IMG_0261.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581353602368068242" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitSfuaOoybdO_TRIwxKxOYK_p7TXKf-NWr6eQtAMgx7o4XeHwOqu4Mj_kyDBqoIurvsnb3MxtX-_aalkKYV3gszkyMZq3rO5nsrZhaCXXd_B6DJIjiCC2kwcYP1h_oQBwJ71CJ0QH1HxI/s1600/IMG_0234.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitSfuaOoybdO_TRIwxKxOYK_p7TXKf-NWr6eQtAMgx7o4XeHwOqu4Mj_kyDBqoIurvsnb3MxtX-_aalkKYV3gszkyMZq3rO5nsrZhaCXXd_B6DJIjiCC2kwcYP1h_oQBwJ71CJ0QH1HxI/s320/IMG_0234.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581359201817716018" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9GeywYpLogv8QCcBwxmU7i7z7-_29hnP3xA892cgy8X5IdF0I7jkjQD5l5KTpx3-7eVMJs-4Mrf7XxVUXB8cDH_I4SzHztqsR6S5YfRxLvyQSxHd4EfaHDHXokXz7FvSj68ef8Ukj9Tc/s1600/IMG_0245.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9GeywYpLogv8QCcBwxmU7i7z7-_29hnP3xA892cgy8X5IdF0I7jkjQD5l5KTpx3-7eVMJs-4Mrf7XxVUXB8cDH_I4SzHztqsR6S5YfRxLvyQSxHd4EfaHDHXokXz7FvSj68ef8Ukj9Tc/s320/IMG_0245.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581359195227663698" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1mLEEtZJ38HeAH8QemARN6lLZ2i0fuw1SOqd24KemMWVcwDE1LItJqsmwgkd_pRRNdqu-0IHwjCrvBuoh0F8dbFpuaGpHzgp60GyArnG3sve6OoZNikS-D6pPQrtwmjSamCxCtmhslAM/s1600/St.+Johns+%252813+of+18%2529.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1mLEEtZJ38HeAH8QemARN6lLZ2i0fuw1SOqd24KemMWVcwDE1LItJqsmwgkd_pRRNdqu-0IHwjCrvBuoh0F8dbFpuaGpHzgp60GyArnG3sve6OoZNikS-D6pPQrtwmjSamCxCtmhslAM/s320/St.+Johns+%252813+of+18%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581358948183076066" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiDkrTSYEO6p9C12ooFdvfsymtQXJx9alqRGrfVisN9yUcHPi7yb1LwLI7NKaKJcEtlWyS7TQzhJigNMDMKTnnQ9vJC-_i22Wls6d-nYa4EjSZM93nfr0-zZvA-0Y5VIu8a2Va5Xiy_qI/s1600/St.+Johns+%252814+of+18%2529.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiDkrTSYEO6p9C12ooFdvfsymtQXJx9alqRGrfVisN9yUcHPi7yb1LwLI7NKaKJcEtlWyS7TQzhJigNMDMKTnnQ9vJC-_i22Wls6d-nYa4EjSZM93nfr0-zZvA-0Y5VIu8a2Va5Xiy_qI/s320/St.+Johns+%252814+of+18%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581358941941864274" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Our first official day here stared with a morning blizzard. I woke up at 3:30 to nurse <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Myatt</span> and the load snow blower came roaring by. Never had I ever heard that before. Everyone slept well and all the kids wanted to do was play in the snow, but it was way too windy and snow was blowing everywhere. We had to make it to the grocery store that morning since we didn't have food and that afternoon Jess had meetings.. So off we went. I think there were like 5 of us at the local store because of the crazy weather. But we made it, got the pantry stocked, which made for a happy mom. After lunch Jess left for meetings and since I couldn't stand the begging anymore I bundled the boys and let them play in the snow. In and out they went but they had fun and at the end of the day once the wind calmed down the neighbor kids came down and finished the snowman that drake started. So our time here stared out okay.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj28tJrqjgS_I_N1alJdK-znqMgRS4cYVukt3aJyqoprEOOVIpp-HEPXBRq-6W1817OQ1ad3HRHx0DngmVwMzqlx1yJL0SkNBuO0MUbDgrm12ihnrpdnNQdsKLOJYmHm5HbZtT_zXiiNOE/s1600/St.+Johns+%25286+of+18%2529.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj28tJrqjgS_I_N1alJdK-znqMgRS4cYVukt3aJyqoprEOOVIpp-HEPXBRq-6W1817OQ1ad3HRHx0DngmVwMzqlx1yJL0SkNBuO0MUbDgrm12ihnrpdnNQdsKLOJYmHm5HbZtT_zXiiNOE/s320/St.+Johns+%25286+of+18%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581345599066709202" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIRnL5LGOcsbWa48voFF0sRWDwoprfrGMX6P_6AJRpfdLA9jTkWWdFrT-8rNaQmfPseoyRyhwhfojt7CSWmZ2tlDqFKjNR2yYw7V_g3NkDd9EWk9_aT3OlbGrKyMNUM_PYLdlJ7UZQa0k/s1600/St.+Johns+%25285+of+18%2529.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIRnL5LGOcsbWa48voFF0sRWDwoprfrGMX6P_6AJRpfdLA9jTkWWdFrT-8rNaQmfPseoyRyhwhfojt7CSWmZ2tlDqFKjNR2yYw7V_g3NkDd9EWk9_aT3OlbGrKyMNUM_PYLdlJ7UZQa0k/s320/St.+Johns+%25285+of+18%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581345610422503330" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2uP5WJDiUM6Jo-bPX-JG-PF4rRgZh9kC34dlgw14-HS4K-b9wFZVNWRd_T9BOtleWr0OLmPRDucmMXQ1omhDpYOWSXUW-KguvAIzkgzWT-kPsNvX9ekfU73dyVGHJi5gKHmVFkCugXKk/s1600/IMG_0223.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2uP5WJDiUM6Jo-bPX-JG-PF4rRgZh9kC34dlgw14-HS4K-b9wFZVNWRd_T9BOtleWr0OLmPRDucmMXQ1omhDpYOWSXUW-KguvAIzkgzWT-kPsNvX9ekfU73dyVGHJi5gKHmVFkCugXKk/s320/IMG_0223.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581345592021571426" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgao8P8mUigoD1B4DzACny1ulAmZeczomV41TxlBaN9tYi_u5V8ByR-6ZMDCrsYJ5C4zrku9jR_NskFAsXTmdpAkoLLxSODC8IRCxIG71x8Ivqa4TXHJDDCXHal6yqufRG03qLtlrJwnVE/s1600/IMG_0274.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgao8P8mUigoD1B4DzACny1ulAmZeczomV41TxlBaN9tYi_u5V8ByR-6ZMDCrsYJ5C4zrku9jR_NskFAsXTmdpAkoLLxSODC8IRCxIG71x8Ivqa4TXHJDDCXHal6yqufRG03qLtlrJwnVE/s320/IMG_0274.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581354667902343362" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvrlFcIfo4XFahOToMcAJlp8ZdviXUImMg0WVLmEFqgEXeHz8whgW8UB_vfi-eFmSC2rvIAqJjB3a-DtVXERBJbVFe4Tmi2cYAcuzi_rkY9q58_hYLH69Qc_E6fGBaU4EInW4mYVEm_mU/s1600/St.+Johns+%25289+of+18%2529.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvrlFcIfo4XFahOToMcAJlp8ZdviXUImMg0WVLmEFqgEXeHz8whgW8UB_vfi-eFmSC2rvIAqJjB3a-DtVXERBJbVFe4Tmi2cYAcuzi_rkY9q58_hYLH69Qc_E6fGBaU4EInW4mYVEm_mU/s320/St.+Johns+%25289+of+18%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581353618418009922" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYQbxSNfwpZrfNYKhEy04F-ZvSZlQiWqlFVng34LYW7kbtpp_3yhT0P0FXkZzlE9CKwhny7TS5_d5JvcSDRN3kNmuUB9et2fYDy2CBN5tIK1TMHrsXy99v009F684uS1ihVh6WUYDwRvc/s1600/St.+Johns+%25282+of+18%2529.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYQbxSNfwpZrfNYKhEy04F-ZvSZlQiWqlFVng34LYW7kbtpp_3yhT0P0FXkZzlE9CKwhny7TS5_d5JvcSDRN3kNmuUB9et2fYDy2CBN5tIK1TMHrsXy99v009F684uS1ihVh6WUYDwRvc/s320/St.+Johns+%25282+of+18%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581353611992561650" border="0" /></a><br />The weather got beautiful and we really started to enjoy this place. The boys have played their hearts out in the snow, staying hours on end. We got some hockey sticks and a goal since Drake is determined to learn to play hockey. And he stays out playing hockey till it is time to come in for dinner. Drake is also enjoying emailing his friends. That is keeping him busy at night as it takes him a while to type and a few letters have been sent without mommy checking them. I can only imagine what he said. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">LOL</span>.. Carter is keeping up with the big kids since we really haven't found many friends his age. From what our neighbor says is that there are a ton of kids out here, but I guess they are inside in the heat, but not my two boys. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Myatt</span> is doing great and getting big. He is grabbing at toys, and doesn't like to be without his mommy. He is smiling all the time and started laughing at the boys. He is starting to mimic us and say OH and is so cute.. He makes us melt.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib4PYAvq9hLA5nrC4dX_ljTC_RM26lsYcZ2kogPNbyOeGXmqT4VVI7AeFgXK5AZ5LR7kFF5ieFD-bYoyxdFUnUEl2DF-cKwvAUp4Rw5YZF8SpiiCskYNq-OCKzuvPkpiI-Tolta39xeWc/s1600/St.+Johns+%252816+of+18%2529.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib4PYAvq9hLA5nrC4dX_ljTC_RM26lsYcZ2kogPNbyOeGXmqT4VVI7AeFgXK5AZ5LR7kFF5ieFD-bYoyxdFUnUEl2DF-cKwvAUp4Rw5YZF8SpiiCskYNq-OCKzuvPkpiI-Tolta39xeWc/s320/St.+Johns+%252816+of+18%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581357467339335314" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfeStz9lqTzMMmuk3lHGf1CjUIpTCWW8oKJPAzIO9FnX-dD2KE_uXnzuBBIUu24MUjZAsRhMKO8o7JvAWzcs7qbWvIZLZVWXzX1MTvY3DcEMtrEsY57KkGTqI1Mba5TL0Ex3peFhbkGwE/s1600/St.+Johns+%252815+of+18%2529.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfeStz9lqTzMMmuk3lHGf1CjUIpTCWW8oKJPAzIO9FnX-dD2KE_uXnzuBBIUu24MUjZAsRhMKO8o7JvAWzcs7qbWvIZLZVWXzX1MTvY3DcEMtrEsY57KkGTqI1Mba5TL0Ex3peFhbkGwE/s320/St.+Johns+%252815+of+18%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581357452348147442" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Friday night I got to met up with a few expats at a place call the <a href="http://gypsytearoom.ca/public/public.php?show=history">The Gypsy Tea Room</a>. I took a cab from home, and that made me nervous. I have never been in a cab by myself, but the guy was very friendly and reassured me that everyone on the island watches out for each other. That was nice to hear. The food was amazing at the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">restaurant</span> . It was so nice to get to meet some neat girls around here. Also to pick there brains about things to do around here with the kids. I hope to definitely do it again soon. Plus Jess did great with the kids alone, even if they were still all awake when I got home.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuN5efGSZvx5jCB0-3Zfg9XACqNeZZc84JPKVrzjbFhFmtzuU2WMow0uC17XOcVzIYW_Vna4i683Xa3Y_YgJ4VE9LvDyHCXsMUr6ZAj0irATG03vOiEtG0yiMWyBFSKxOJyLGeo_ig3bM/s1600/IMG_0270.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuN5efGSZvx5jCB0-3Zfg9XACqNeZZc84JPKVrzjbFhFmtzuU2WMow0uC17XOcVzIYW_Vna4i683Xa3Y_YgJ4VE9LvDyHCXsMUr6ZAj0irATG03vOiEtG0yiMWyBFSKxOJyLGeo_ig3bM/s320/IMG_0270.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581355120753609458" border="0" /></a><br />Saturday was our exploring day. We got to drive around and see some beautiful places here. We also went to a local place to grab Drake some ice skates and a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">helmet</span> since they ice skate during gym class. We grabbed lunch at a place called Boston Pizza and it was so yummy. I guess we are going to have to get used to Pepsi because so far that is what we are finding at a lot of places. I felt like I won the lottery on Sunday when I found a bottle Diet <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Dp</span> at the local grocery store since they don't carry can Diet <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Dp</span>. We also went to <a href="http://www.pc.gc.ca/lhn-nhs/nl/signalhill/index.aspx">Signal Hill</a> Saturday. Which is a historic site that celebrates the rich communications and military history of Signal Hill and sits amidst a spectacular view of St. John's and the sea. Signal Hill was the reception point of the first transatlantic wireless signal by Guglielmo Marconi in 1901, as well as the site of harbour defences for St. John's from the 18<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">th</span> century to the Second World War. It had amazing views, and is a place we will visit again.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQ1by9S-iSdjBYZ7xVujlOgCILmyt24rh9r6-TQ-qASEQUVc2xa4XtT7BWMxRcXwcE0_q6gValL1snPndYJXRX4JFNa9_CkGgweKZe_2EoPhWPAazQ203VO-QSu9zLZeJbJZaXP9YmuI/s1600/IMG_0290.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQ1by9S-iSdjBYZ7xVujlOgCILmyt24rh9r6-TQ-qASEQUVc2xa4XtT7BWMxRcXwcE0_q6gValL1snPndYJXRX4JFNa9_CkGgweKZe_2EoPhWPAazQ203VO-QSu9zLZeJbJZaXP9YmuI/s320/IMG_0290.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581354689838395042" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCgprK3XgXNF0K2CEei_K-IOH_cklmcNohsz1haqiXQ8X3aQsp9FQ7GIU7vh3c4fhznyREB6TG8srVyhmwaHm4fRGwxo5rLEi5Mg7kBPxacnLvhlACQ0xonCicBAW-hLsN8hN1YYVB6GI/s1600/IMG_0292.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 231px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCgprK3XgXNF0K2CEei_K-IOH_cklmcNohsz1haqiXQ8X3aQsp9FQ7GIU7vh3c4fhznyREB6TG8srVyhmwaHm4fRGwxo5rLEi5Mg7kBPxacnLvhlACQ0xonCicBAW-hLsN8hN1YYVB6GI/s320/IMG_0292.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581354677426910914" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw4dZeKTs_rNlhwKYR2UZLaftfv8MXhNLS3t77qoOhtC9-FIvHp7C-p_y9QCF0uEh-IzzusBu2NdhlT2kDpVelR11y7PkTmz0k9KChbtTG4MjUJ332qtirkKjEuBl1hZHlujaXfW0yy-4/s1600/IMG_0285.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw4dZeKTs_rNlhwKYR2UZLaftfv8MXhNLS3t77qoOhtC9-FIvHp7C-p_y9QCF0uEh-IzzusBu2NdhlT2kDpVelR11y7PkTmz0k9KChbtTG4MjUJ332qtirkKjEuBl1hZHlujaXfW0yy-4/s320/IMG_0285.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581355103684036322" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp6QhcuHL5iIqwbJzCUwMm2qa7hecKS4a0p1PQL8r8s9wNcmL3BrgCpm4wccwZboB8u1BrXRy1nWcqkCLepRKKsy8fJAUpObiIHgTCYZVJ7sdjD4DhXhwQgViB53gxSiK8OGxqi-kjDPI/s1600/IMG_0280.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp6QhcuHL5iIqwbJzCUwMm2qa7hecKS4a0p1PQL8r8s9wNcmL3BrgCpm4wccwZboB8u1BrXRy1nWcqkCLepRKKsy8fJAUpObiIHgTCYZVJ7sdjD4DhXhwQgViB53gxSiK8OGxqi-kjDPI/s320/IMG_0280.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581354669379235954" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU-hgnd5KOHQI0KgW1r_R0Q_Purg_Y2lzmiMVQ8u4uBsTOti1cuAL8M90H2D6whxzpPASZJw5_pzN9u6d9xyXAoY_ANzfPotyKP6CDGJQYNY9_FKGVxlmy8S9kxkCH_LRr8-zQRHVjHvQ/s1600/IMG_0277.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU-hgnd5KOHQI0KgW1r_R0Q_Purg_Y2lzmiMVQ8u4uBsTOti1cuAL8M90H2D6whxzpPASZJw5_pzN9u6d9xyXAoY_ANzfPotyKP6CDGJQYNY9_FKGVxlmy8S9kxkCH_LRr8-zQRHVjHvQ/s320/IMG_0277.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581355119441027730" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgao8P8mUigoD1B4DzACny1ulAmZeczomV41TxlBaN9tYi_u5V8ByR-6ZMDCrsYJ5C4zrku9jR_NskFAsXTmdpAkoLLxSODC8IRCxIG71x8Ivqa4TXHJDDCXHal6yqufRG03qLtlrJwnVE/s1600/IMG_0274.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgao8P8mUigoD1B4DzACny1ulAmZeczomV41TxlBaN9tYi_u5V8ByR-6ZMDCrsYJ5C4zrku9jR_NskFAsXTmdpAkoLLxSODC8IRCxIG71x8Ivqa4TXHJDDCXHal6yqufRG03qLtlrJwnVE/s320/IMG_0274.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581354667902343362" border="0" /></a><br />Today is Monday and it was Drake's first day of school. It was gym day so he got to wear his gym clothes to school. But we had a tons of stuff to pack. A pair of gym shoes to stay there a pair of snow boots and then the coat. Man I don't know if I will ever get use to all the stuff. I was nervous when leaving him because I felt out of sorts, but he did so well. I could tell he was nervous but walked straight in and got to work. I am praying that he finds a buddy and has a wonderful day. This afternoon we are meeting with a school for Carter. He was made this morning cause he didn't get to go to school like Drake did. Hopefully this school will be the one and they have an opening that works. From what I heard you have to put your name on waiting list around here many years in advance. But we didn't have that sort of time, so we will see what we get...The Richards Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12346222955620069226noreply@blogger.com1
