Hello Family and Friends! Finally cathing my blog up, lots of things have happened. We flew into Nashville on the 27th of Aug. Its very beautiful here. We are settled in now, Emma is in Kindergarten and had a few rough times of adjustment, lots of changes for her, but loving school now, she has joined the girl scouts and getting back into gymnastics. Rick just turned 1, we went to Chuck E Cheese and he had a blast playing and eating, he is doing soo great, he is walking very well even running, he can clap his hands, waves, he's saying daddy, mama, ball, Emma, Nana (banana) and he has a couple of friends that he has play dates with. Our ward has been so great and welcoming to us. We've made friends and going out so it has made adjustments easier for our family. We played indoor soccer last saturday and I broke my big toe, so I have had more down time to get on the computer and finally update my blog! yeah! I'm okay, just can't walk very well, I really need to give myself time to heal! Nick is doing very well at work, and I'm so proud of him, he will be in Salt Lake on Monday & Tuesday for business, irony isn't it! Holly is coming to visit us in October and I'm so excited to see her and Cappy. Here is a pic of Franklin where we live. This is a trolley which is the buses here! pretty cool eh, I hope to get more pics downloaded soon! love to all!
