We are starting to adjust to our new home in Midland. The children are doing great in their new surroundings. A few days after we moved here, Lane started swim lessons at the COM. It is an awesome facility that has five pools and an olympic size pool with diving boards. On Thursday, Lane got to jump off the diving boards and swing on the rope.
We have been trying to keep busy! Midland hosts a 4th of July children's parade each year. The children decorate their bikes, scooters, strollers,etc. to show their patriotism. Very last minute, we decided to go. We made a quick stop at Target to get a few decorations and decorated Lane's bike and Jenna's stroller when we arrived. Next year, I will definitley plan ahead for the decorations. Many of the children were all decked out. All in all, it was a really fun morning. On our way home we discovered a jumping place. Lane was begging to go there. So we ate a quick lunch and then took the kids jumping. The strange thing was we ended up being the only ones there. After going home and resting we headed a few miles west to Odessa for the Firecracker Fandango. The children enjoyed food, crafts, balloons, and even stayed awake for the 10pm fireworks! (It really doesn't get dark here until around 9:30). One really positive thing about this move is it has allowed us to spend much more time together as a family! I have more photos to share but my computer isn't cooperating right now. I will try again soon!
