Welcome to our little space of the web.

After buying a cute little mill house in Five Points, renovating it and thinking we would never live anywhere else we decided to move. To a rancher. A pink rancher. So not us. But, it will be, with time, elbow grease and good contractors! From the first time we walked in the front door we knew we were home. The new house is right around the corner from my parent's house where I grew up. We are so excited for Matthew and Charlotte to grow up here, riding bikes, going to the pool, playing in the woods... my childhood was filled with freedom and wonder allowed by a safe neighborhood that I could explore and make my place in the world. I am thrilled we can give that to our children.

These days our blog is filled with the adventures of Mateo and Charlotte...mixed in with a few home projects and recipes. But mostly the kids take front and center. Join us on the adventure!

Day of Rockets!

We started out the day on the square in Downtown Huntsville for the Nasa on the Square event.  My company is working on the new Space Launch System so we had a big role to play.  Matthew loved interacting with all of the exhibits!






Next we headed to Southern Thunder!  It is a rocket launch hosted by Huntsville Amateur Rocket Association.  We drove about an hour or so north of Huntsville and even though I know Paul loves a good back road, with each turn, I thought we were getting more and more lost. Then all of a sudden, we take a turn and there is this field filled with people watching rockets!  It. Was. Awesome.  I think I was the one most excited about it!  We were quite unprepared to be in a big open field in the middle of June.  Thankfully, we were taken in by nice family and given shade and water!  What a great event!

Thats's a rocket!
  
Poor C flinched every time a rocket went off.


Look at it go!

I think Charlotte had the best time of all!
