SO much going on

Been fairly slow here since we got here mainly b/c we don't know anybody.  but reved up recently.  We had a VERY NICE fun visit with grammy here last week. Oh, the girls were so excited and it was so sweet to see them together again.  We all miss her so..I know alexus does.  We were able to take her to the zoo. that place is huge. We barely did half of it!  Eva was so excited b/c of all the baby elephants esp the baby  born in April.  The only other real sight seeing thing we did was drive by Jefferson Memorial and the arch and downtown.   Grammy and Alexus did ALOT of shopping.  she's gonna be cute this year.  Alexus just couldn't wait to go school shopping with Grammy. Since grammy likes it I let her have at it.  They got some cute stuff.  We tried a lot of new restreaurants with Grammy.  None that were that great though.  We visited some apartments and found some good prospects.  OH< n I almost forgot. Grammy bought BOTH girls and American girl doll. So gift ideas are abound now around those dolls.  Alexus had an ice cream social Monday at her new school to meet the principal.  He's another young one.  So glad we went ahead and signed her up for soccer b/c we are on a team where the coach's girl is in 2nd grade at her school too. So we met them and they are SUPER nice people and VERY involved with the school.  So they interested us to lots of people and Alex enjoyed playing with their daughter. tonight is the first soccer practice and Friday is meet the teacher.  It's Ms Hale.  I hear she's been there awhile.  oh also went to the girls school they've been at this summer for a carnival. That was REALLY fun.  Too many sweets of course but enjoyable.
