We're baaaccck!

Hi!

Well, some of us are back! Joseph, the dogs, and I are here. Jesse is in Jackson, MS on business, and Abby is in London! Yes, you read that correctly, she is in London, England with her grandparents (Jesse's dad, Dave, his wife Connie, and her granddaughter, Maddie). More about her on her page. We got here yesterday and are excited about seeing Dad and Patricia and all of our neighbors. 

We finally named our home, another thing you must do when you have a cabin in the mountains. We have our theme, obviously birds and butterflies. Now our name....Happinest! Why Happinest? A couple of years ago when we came for the 4th of July (before we bought the cabin), we entered the gates of the neighborhood. Abby said, "We are entering the Gates of Happiness." We love that! Well, we are happy when we are here, so we kept the first part. Then I came  up with the "nest" part because birds have nests. See, it all ties in nice and tidy!

Our plans for the summer...Jesse will be here for a week and then Jackson and then here, and then Jackson, you get the idea. Abby will be home June 24. Joseph will have swimming lessons, horseback riding lessons, and fun riding his bike and scooter. We will enjoy spending time with family and friends as always!
