Hello blog. We are back... for now

In case anyone was wondering, we are alive and doing well. We still find our selves in the USA. But only for a few more weeks then it is off to Germany. For some reason moving to a different country causes for much preparation and work before hand. Who would of thunk it? Well hence the no blog posts in like forever! And lets be honest, I'm lazy! We have been here and there and everywhere trying to say our goodbyes to family and trying to have as much fun as humanly possible in good old Florida and this beloved country before we say our goodbyes. We will be making one last pit stop in Utah for little-brother James' wedding to soon-to-be sister-in-law Carly. So if anyone in Utah would like to make their peace with us this is your last call! I am now accepting text messaging.

Starting backwards in the blog catch up...

4th of July

You either have to be wickedly awesome or slightly crazy to wear all matching tie-dye in public...

Bitter sweet, enjoying our last 4th of July fireworks on US soil for 3 years

I would blame the rain for the pink tint on our shirts but if you are brave enough please enjoy the informative how-to video constructed by Peter Frandsen made on the new iPhone.

We spent a fantastic long weekend in Mississippi with our pals the Frandsens. London and betrothed Will rekindled their undying love. Good food, good friends & good wholesome recreational activities= Awesome Freedom weekend! Thats what July 4th is all about.

Our little gymnast

When we first moved to Florida I was looking for some fun things for Sadie to do around the area. One of my neighbors told me about a gymnastics place around here that you can go every Monday and Friday for $5 and let your kid run around, jump on the trampolines and use all the equipment. So for months I was taking Sadie there and then I decided to enroll her in a class. I am so glad I did. The girl loves it and always looks forward to tuesdays when we get to go see Coach Jean and learn how to do cartwheels, front rolls, handstands, triangles, pike, straddle legs, tucks, do tricks on the tumble track, swing on the rings, do tricks on the balance beam and so on. Hey, I have even learned a thing or two about the sport. I can't wait to see Sadie take Gold in the 2020 Olympics.

All the girls waiting for instruction from coach Jean

warming up is always a good idea before exerting your muscles

goofing off on some bar we have never used

I think it is so fun to see Sadie use all these things she has learned at home. She has become a little monkey around the house climbing and swinging from everything.

Official documents (officially cute)

One thing to check off the long list of things to do before Germany. Passport pictures. I hope they accept these, they are too cute not too. (Mark just informed me that they probably won't accept them due to cropping errors. He's the one that did them, but they are still cute.)
