It's been a while....

So, the last time I did a blog post we were a family of three living in north GA and just a few days away from the birth of our second baby girl, Anna. We are now a family of 5 living in TN!! Laura is now 5 and Anna isn't such a baby anymore. She will be 4 in just a few weeks and she's become a big sister too. Our third little girl, Emily is almost 9 months old.

We moved to Nashville, TN about 18 months ago. Eric got a great opportunity with a company up here and we took a leap of faith and moved. Although we really miss the mountains and the great friends we had there, Nashville is growing on me and starting to feel more like home. We really hate how far away we are from our families though. We went from 3-4 hrs away to 8+ hours. :( But the grandparents are all retired now and they make the drive to Nashville on a fairly regular basis. When they come for a visit, they usually stay a week at a time, so in some ways I feel like we actually spend more time with them now than when they used to make short weekend trips!

I decided to start blogging again to help me document our newest adventure...homeschooling! Based on where we are right now and our family, we felt like this was the best route for us this year. I hope blogging can help me remember some of the things we do and its a good way for the grandparents to see what we are up to. :)

It feels strange to be blogging again after such a long absence, but its good to be back!
