Blogging withdrawal

Sorry to have been so delinquent in my blog updates! We don't have Internet access yet at the house (we're waiting for Verizon to send us our equipment). I feel so lost and isolated without it!

Moving truck packing up.

True to form, we Milne's have been keeping busier than ever! Our movers unloaded the semi-truck moving trailer 10 days ago and we've been unpacking ever since! Dean arrived Friday evening after completing his work on the ship (mostly). He's been painting and doing some electrical jobs around the house (switching out outlets so they're white and not beige, etc).

We've pretty much seen the local family every day, who have graciously provided us with temporary lodging, meals, laundry and Internet facilities, and friendship/entertainment! Saturday we went to our first official family function - Joshua's birthday party (cousin's cousin) which consisted of a game of kickball, playground activity, and a barbecue. Fun!

On Sunday after church, we headed back down to Busch Gardens for their "Glory in the Gardens" concert series. We had an afternoon of fun followed by an evening of listening to Sanctus Real and Mercy Me. We saw many old friends there and even sat with the Brady's! We spent the night at the Ward's bed and breakfast, really enjoying our brief visit with them before heading out to Water Country for the day! We left just in time to come back for Nana and Papa Milne's going away dinner at the Yoho's. Whew! Anybody else exhausted? Wait, there's more! Last night, Papa and Dean took our boys to watch the Mariners play in Baltimore (the closest game location). Happy Father's Day, Papa!

I think I'm caught up on the blogging for now. That's enough procrastinating! (although, in my defense, I did start this while on hold for 15 minutes with the DMV...)
