Our year has been pretty quiet so far. We are getting settled into the swing of life in Knoxville, enjoying visits from friends and relatives and doing a few CRAZY things.
Rebecca wasn't able to be here on her actual birthday, but we celebrated a few days late with a rather sad-looking but tasty cake. Note that it is swimming in icing:
Nathan had really hated to leave the guys on his soccer team in the Tri-Cities when we moved here last year. He now plays for the Ambassadors here in Knoxville. It turns out that this team is full of great guys, too. Nathan was able to switch his loyalty and play his heart out against his old team and enjoy beating them! It was also nice to be missed. His old teammates came up and asked him how much they would have to pay for him to back off on defense next time. Here is the "good game" after the game. Nathan is #17. ,/
We enjoyed visits from my family this Spring. My sisters came in March, and my Dad came in April. He treated us all to a few days in Gatlinburg, and we did some hiking while we were there:
One CRAZY thing we did this Spring was take a 24-hour trip to Washington, DC on the Megabus. We left at 10 pm on a Sunday evening, spent a Monday in Washington, and then returned at 10 pm that night. It was spring break, but it snowed heavily much of the time.
The other CRAZY thing we did was that Caleb and I did Color Me Rad. I've decided I don't really like those races. The color is fun, but it costs $40 each, and they don't even have a clock running. I mainly ran in it so that we could get some good photos. But Terry took video instead. And Caleb tried to run it without getting any color on him, which pretty much wasted that $40. Oh well.
