Life in St. Louis

We are here and finally settling in. Well, almost. We still have a few things to get done in our apartment so as soon as they're finished, I'll post pics of our new place. The apartment we are in right now is a lot smaller than our old place, so we are having to be very creative on how to make it all fit, but more to come on that later.

As far as living here goes we are LOVING it! I feel like I live in a condo resort area that people stay at on vacation. We have so many fun things to do within walking distance.


There is a way fun playground that is shaded 24 hours a day. We go about twice a day.

We have a swimming pool that the girls and I are having a blast in each day while Greg is at School. Then when he comes home we usually go again.


There are walking paths, that a bunch of us Mom's walk together in the mornings with the kidos. Speaking of walking, our church is only a 5 min walk also. Woot! Woot!

The office staff is awesome and if anything is wrong with the apartment, they send maintenance over to fix it in a flash. They also have a place where we can rent movies for free too.

Basically if this place had a grocery store, I would never have to leave my house!

The best part, as always, are the wonderful friends that we've met so far. There are so many fun couples to hang out with and they all have kids around my girls ages. Brinley is loving having friends to play with everyday.


Our fourth of July weekend was really nice. It happened to be Greg's birthday also, so we had double celebrations.


He got up of the morning of his birthday and went golfing with a bunch of the guys here. Then when he got back all of us went to the pool for the afternoon.

Brinley had fun playing with her new friends.

That night we put Brinley to bed about 8:00 and when I went in to check on her at 10:00 this is how I found her. I guess she had a lot to be thankful for.

On the 4Th we woke up and went to this darling little town for a parade. The girls loved it because

The girls loved it because they tossed out candy.
