The big reveal

Change is inevitable... but when it all happens in one week it seems almost surreal. I could write a novel and still not cover all of the chaos of the last week and a half.
For starters we have officially moved to Nashville... well Columbia to be more exact... Cadan fell asleep at the wheel so it made for a long trip:

We packed up our stuff at my parents house, loaded the car and set up the coffee pot so we would be ready to leave bright and early Friday morning... in all of our efficiany we forgot to plan where Cadan was supposed to sleep after packing his craddle. Anyone have an extra laundry basket?

We pulled up to the Martins 9 hours later...
We felt very welcome as they showed us around...especially when we got to Cadans room and saw all of the notes that many of you sent us. We were really touched! I often sit in the glider rocking the wee one and rereading the many messages you left for us. Such encouragement as we go through this crazy season of life.



As if that wasn't enough change...Dave landed a job and we finally got a contract on our home in Virginia. I guess we will be packing again sometime soon.

Sunday we tried out our first church in the area. We picked a nice day to try that church because after the service there was a yummy church picnic...Cadan pooped out after all of the excitment. He was sleeping so soundly we had to check and make sure he was still breathing.

To add to the many new things in our life we took a trip to Chicago over Mothers Day weekend... we couldn't wait to see Dave's Chicago family and introduce them to Cadan.
We had some scary turbulance on the airplane much to Cadans delight...the plane was swaying in the wind as we were trying to land... 40 mile per hour winds made for a rough landing and everyone clapped as the brakes of the plane screeched to a halt... I think I even smelled burnt rubber.

So now that we are "home" we can finally put up our feet and relax.

Talk about a busy week!

Well this post has been a long time coming, I understand it is about a year long so to not bother you further...check out the Martins post for some more cute pictures... check out the ones of Hope and Cadan... I hope they make you laugh as much as we did. Cadan didn't think it was so funny.
We'll post more when naps allow...love to hear from all of ya'll.
