BAKERSFIELD

We made it!! Sorry for the delay in blogging, with moving and everything I just haven't gotten around to a new blog. We still have a couple boxes in the mail with the cord for our camera, so I only have a picture we took with the Allred's camera.

The move was somewhat uneventful- except that our car died. Landon was in Waynesboro, about 40 minutes outside of Charlottesville, putting all of our stuff in storage and I was dropping Aiden off at my visiting teacher's house before I went to go meet him. I walked outside and the car wouldn't start- it had no problems leading up, it simply wouldn't start. I called a tow truck that came and got the car and towed it to our friend's house where we are storing it for the summer. So when we get back we will be greeted with a dead car. I don't know what our problem is with cars and moving but next time we move I will just have to add another thousand dollars into the expected moving costs to account for it.

We are LOVING Bakersfield. Aiden is having the time of his life with his cousins, aunts and grandparents- and Piko the dog. He will have a difficult transition when we get back to Virginia. In some VERY exciting news, we would like to announce that Aiden is now crawling and rolling over. He actually figured out crawling and pulling up on things before rolling over, which was interesting, but he has now mastered both and is becoming quite the mobile boy. And for everyone that said I should be grateful for an immobile child- you were right!! It was so much easier when he stayed in a two foot radius. But he doesn't get as frustrated now because he can go to his toys so that's nice.

Last night we celebrated being in Bakersfield by having a poolside barbecue followed by dancing at Buck Owen's Crystal Palace with Landon's sister Tawna and her friend Clayton. We had a great time!
