The Durbins: June 2009

Sunday, June 21, 2009

We have had a very busy Father's Day weekend. Jason brought Ali to visit for the weekend. On Friday, I took the girls to the pool at Prairie Life. Ali and Claire absolutely LOVE swimming! After we swam, we grilled out at Papa Mark's house and played a game of spades. Claire was very interested in the cards and wanted to help out by grabbing at them and putting them in her mouth.

Claire and I headed out early Saturday morning for swim lessons. She is the youngest in her class and loves the water the most. She loves to kick and splash her hands in the pool. I think she is a natural. Our afternoon was spent at Grandma Shirlee and Papa Jim's for a yummy lunch followed by more pool time at Hope and Reid's. (and homemade ice cream)

Last night we got to watch Ethan. His mommy and daddy came in town for a high school reunion. Watching a 2 month old and 6 month old can be challenging, but thanks to Aunt Amanda it went smoothly. My night was adventurous....who doesn't like projectile vomit and poop on them?? (from 2 different babies)

Our church service this morning was wonderful. Claire loved the "rock and roll" service. (as one of the older women in our church describes it) We stopped by Papa Mark's after church to say our goodbyes to Uncle Jason and Ali and then headed to eat Mexican with Mimi and Aunt Amanda. Harry's request for Father's Day was a relaxing afternoon with a movie and that is exactly what he got. Today I am so thankful for my wonderful husband. He is an amazing daddy!

Our New Home

This is our new home. Last Saturday we left Knoxville headed for Cordova. Since I was traveling with Claire alone, our drive took just over 7 hours. When we finally made it, we had lots of helping hands to move us in. We are still unpacking, but the kitchen, living room, and our bedroom are for the most part complete.
Harry started working on Tuesday. He is really enjoying his new office and co-workers. Claire and I have been staying busy going on walks and running errands. We are really enjoying being so close to our family!
