Goodbye...

The "big" move starts tomorrow and by the end of Saturday we will be completely moved out of our first home! 

So, I made a little craft to remember
this first adventure of ours!

Can't wait to start our next adventure!

The new school year...

We are two days away from the new school year. Jeremy has been working for the past week now, but the kids don't come until the 21st. It's actually nice to not have a full week back with the kids for the first week. Take on 3 days, give yourself a weekend and then go at it full force : ) Jeremy is officially in the zone and I am already so proud of him. 

He got to see his classroom last week and got everything set up this weekend. This is where I give major kudos to Buist Academy. His classroom is absolutely beautiful. He isn't allowed to decorate the walls since everything is nice and new, but he doesn't even need to! That's how nice it is. His back wall is a long counter top with 2 sinks in it for his labs, complete with top and bottom cupboards. The kid's desks are shaped so that they can sit together in a circle, or be taken apart to be separate desks. He has a smart board, double sliding dry erase boards that have cabinet space behind them. Oh and did I mention not one, but TWO of the most comfortable rolly chairs ever! LOL That is only some of the things, not to even mention all the supplies he got and is able to get more anytime he needs for different things he might want to do with his kids! He gets to meet the kids and parents tonight and I can't wait to hear about it all when he gets home! 

I am just so excited for him this year. 

I think he is going to rock the 6th grade!

Although the first month or so is going to be a little rocky with us moving and all, I have complete confidence that he is going to get in there and do what he does best! 

Bring it on, right babe? : )

Things to look forward to!

February 2014 is going to be like the best month ever! Although it is kind of sad since we will be home in December and then probably not again until June or July, SO many cute little babies are going to be born in February!!!

Just to name a few...

...both of Jeremy's brothers are expecting...

Ryan, Amanda & Reece

Nathan & Lana

My friend Rachel is expecting her first...

& my friend Erin is expecting her second!

 

How exciting! 

I just can't wait!!! :D

Baby Daniel

My brother and sister-in-law welcomed their first little one into the world on July 23rd. It was perfect timing since we were going to be leaving Northern New York and heading to Western New York to see them and my grandparents on the 24th. I'm so glad that he made his arrival in time for us to meet him. What a perfect little man he is : )

Welcome Daniel Joseph Geiger!

 

 

His going home outfit - which was his daddy's!

One more visit before we headed South <3

As if I didn't have enough reasons to wish it to come faster, come on Christmas! : ) Maybe we should just move closer so that we aren't always wishing our time away ; ) LOL

Congrats again, Jonathan and Liz! I'm so happy for you guys and love him to pieces already!

Dad's birthday

 Dad had his birthday while we were there, which was so much fun since we missed Father's Day. For some reason I think you can show more love while you are in person than while you are a million miles away and have to skype. Plus it's just more fun : )

His feast.

 

I surprised him and made him a lime cheesecake.

 

  

As you can see he couldn't wait to try it. LOL Actually we just forgot about the candles until we had already cut a piece. See how proud he is of making it with one breath?  

 

Love her <3

 

My mom always thinks that our time home with them is so boring because it is just her and my dad. But I wouldn't rather do anything else but sit at the kitchen table playing cards with them, crash date nights or wake up early to curl up on the couch with her, drink coffee and watch a chick flick. I will always look forward to that <3 

Love you Dad & Mom! : )

Photo Shoot

Some just for fun, some for our one year anniversary, one day we took off to Jeremy's grandpa's field and did a little photo shoot with our wedding photographer, and sister-in-law, Amanda. She did such great work, again! 

 

One of my favorites : )

Love this one too : )

REALLY love this one! : )

Love him!

Thanks again, Amanda!

Misc. Fun

Ok, back to our NY visit! : )

I missed out on so many pictures without my camera, but was able to snap a few with my phone of Uncle Jeremy and his little mini-him.

 

 

Followed him around everywhere and did everything he did : )

 

  

Had some fun with Ryan's gun...

 

 

Some fun on the water...

& of course the 4-wheeler : )

& tuckered the little guy right out mid-play.....

Jeremy and I were quoting him and thinking of all the crazy stuff he does the whole drive back. We already miss him and everyone so much and we have only been back a week!
