Crazy days!

It is a sad day when I am too tired to post pictures onto this blog. The Knights have been way too busy with soccer, work, traveling, working on the townhouse (which had the fire in it), and just trying to get to bed earlier than midnight every night.
Poor Joe has been going to work for 8 hours a day and then promptly heads over to the townhouse to get more work done on it. We are in the home stretch and our tenants are back in the house, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
We leave tomorrow for a long weekend at Joe's grandparents home in North Carolina. We are so excited to enjoy the laid back ways of Pinehurst and eat delicious food, all while being surrounded by family. Good Times! I am sure I will post some pictures of my boys playing golf, so stay tuned!

It has been a while...





Sorry for the long pause on the blogging. We actually went on vacation to Disney World and I didn't check email, facebook, or anything else for a whole week! It was wonderful!
So much happened the week we were gone, but I will start with out trip! It was amazing! We definitely have become Disney World addicts and might need to get into some sort of rehab for it. Ben is 4 years old and has already been there 4 times! GEEZE!! Eli is only 18 months old and this was his second visit! It will definitely be a while before we go back, so that made this trip even more special!
We spent 5 nights and 6 days in Disney and visited all the parks except the water parks. The boys had the time of their lives and Joe and I had a great time as well. There is something about that place that just makes you happy! Everyone there was happy! People say hello, please, thank you, nice to meet you, have a great day, and are just overall happy people! Joe and I said the world would be a much better place if it were filled with people that go to Disney! :)
I got to meet up with Amie, a friend from college while we were there as well. She came with her son and daughter and we had such a great time hanging out with them in the Magic Kingdom. Unfortunately her husband and older son were not able to make it because of school and work! It was still so much fun to see the three of them. Thanks Amie for braving Disney with two small children! It is always fantastic to see you!
On Wednesday we got the wonderful news that our dear friends Justin and Sara welcomed their second child into the world. Arabella Jun joined her sister Adelaide Rose. I am pretty sure my sons are betrothed to their daughters now! :) We are so happy for them and look forward to having many play dates when they move back from the PI!
On Thursday we got a call from our tenant that the townhouse we own had caught on fire. The dryer had caught fire and our tenant was unable to put it out so she grabbed her three children and left the house and called the fire department. We are so happy that everyone got out of the house and are safe! The house is repairable, but the whole second floor needs to be redone. The ceiling also collapsed in on the first floor from all the water on the second floor. The fire restoration people are saying in about a month the house will be good as new! Joe is hard at work taking care of everything...what a wonderful husband!!
I think that about catches you up! I will post again soon!
