Hello Family and Friends,
Now that we live so far away I thought it would be nice to send out a newsletter of sorts about whats going on in our life. I thought I would be able to do that through Facebook. But I have gotten very leary about putting to much personal information or posting to many pictures of the kiddo's. So I though this would be a good way of trying to stay connected to everyone.
Just a readers digest version update. In February we moved to Oregon and immediately started looking for jobs and getting Avery in school. James found a job working for the Department of Health and VA as a medical assistant. We decided to have me be a stay at home mom. In March we started to explore a little and Avery lost her first tooth.
April brought Easter and Kilian's first birthday which was a lot of fun. We also got to see the tall ships come into port which was really cool.
Which brings us to May. Mom and Dad Armstrong went to Utah for the whole month so we had the house to ourselves. Which was kinda nice and really helped us to calm down and relax a bit. Avery had some really fun Girl Scout activities. She had a tour of the firehouse in Waldport.
She had the chance to walk in a parade at Newport which she loved. Or I guess I should say scooter-ed. :p
We started to have fewer rainy days which allowed us to get outside more and do some yard work. Mom and Dad Armstrong bought some cement paving stones which I was able to paint and make Avery a fun hopscotch pad. We were also able to plant a garden which James and I are REALLY excited about. It's been so nice to have a little free rein with being able to do some yard work and landscaping. It's to much work for my in laws to take on by themselves so its nice that we have a chance to help them out.
We also had a chance to enjoy Rhody days in Florence. Avery played lots of fun carnival games and got to meet Jack Sparrow. Kilian had fun watching all the people and got a bit over stimulated with all the people, music and noise in general. :p
We enjoyed a fun play date with friends at the Hatfield Museum. Avery's girl scout troop got to sing the National Anthem for a memorial day celebrations. It was the perfect way to end the month
