This is my first attempt at blogging. I am a procrastinator by nature so of course I waited until the night before my sister left on a plane back to Florida to write my first post. It didn't help that for most of her visit with me it was the two of us keeping 8 kids busy and fed. I wouldn't say that it was time wasted, I would much rather hold my nieces and spend time with my sister than sit in front of a computer. A lot was accomplished in her 3 week visit - a trip to Canada and the Falls, a fun-filled day at Darrien Lake Six Flags, a rainy day at the Zoo, Explore and More Museum for the little kids, Flag Football camp for the big kids, a birthday party for three (Aaron, Elijah, and cousin Monica), and many trips swimming. It was fun but now it is time for me to say goodbye to her and the kids and for me to start making a life for us here in our new town.
So far, the people that I have meet have been very nice and welcoming. We were invited to a neighborhood pool party, the kids had a blast and we meet many nice families. However, the invitation said to bring an appetizer and Carrie, my sister, made a taco dip for me to take saying that everyone loves taco dip. So I brought it to the party with 6 kids in tow only to discover that there were 4 other taco dips on the table. Really what are the chances?
I hope that you check back once in a while to get the lowdown on us Livingstons. If you miss us be sure that we miss you too.

BTW I bet your taco dip was the best on the table!
Good for you! I'm thrilled that you are giving it a go, so to speak... but for those who love and miss you, this is a great gift. Can't wait to read some more and of course... pictures would be fabulous! I bet you miss Carrie...
Love you, Sweet Baby Girl!

Yeah! We miss you guys!
Wow Melanie! It sounds like you have been amazingly productive. I am glad you are meeting some of your neighbors. How is the move-in? Are you pretty settled? We do miss you! I need to get your new address.
Life here is good. I have seen Sue and Devon (and the rest of their family) at the beach a little bit. I had my 4 nieces and nephew for a week and am now in recovery mode until we take them with us next week to VT with us.
I hope to talk to you soon! Love,
Sabrina
