The Spring Fling & the Tree Zoo


The 1st of May was the Spring Fling at Emma Elementary.  It was a rainy day but that sure didn't stop us from having a great time!  MJ and Harmony played every game, won the cupcake walk, slid on the giant inflatable slide, got soaked to the bone and had an amazingly fun time!  There was even a wonderful three piece bluegrass band that did a super job of providing live music all afternoon.  Did we mention we love it here?
 











We also went to the N.C. Arboretum which is such a beautiful place, they have a quilt garden, beautiful trails, awesome garden sculpture and of course, trees.  It's a great place to go explore with the kids or visit with the grownups.





30 Days Come and Gone. . .What's going on?


Wow! Just looked down and realized a whole month has gone by since I've update this thing. Time to get to work oh wait that's what I've been doing instead of blogging!

It's our first full month as Ashevillians and we're feeling right at home now. We've made some amazing progress and met some wonderful new friends.  Asheville is such a neat visual mix of natural glory, urban decay, artist renewal, and art deco styles. It's a real treat to just wander around here with your eyes open looking at everything.
