Happy New Year

We are back in Richmond. Thanks to Grandpa Joe for driving us back up here. So far we have just managed to get the laundry done, unpack and somewhat try to find a place for all the new toys. Today since Grandpa Joe is here and it is so nice...like 60 degrees, we went to Maymont Mansion in Richmond which was nice, Matthew didn't really want to "view" the house so Jay took him outside and let him play while Grandpa Joe and I witnessed what more money than sense could buy you back in 1900-1920s....not as bad as the Billtmore in NC but close, just 20 rooms and again just over the top in stuff from Europe, the worlds fair of 1904 etc.

They also had a nice children's farm with animals to feed and a nature center where we got to see some fish fed and the otters put on a show...Matt had on a red shirt, his polo which I am trying to get as much use out of before it has to go into the packed away-too small bin so the otter thought he was a prop and kept coming towards him and stopping and it was really cute...

Well, tomorrow is our last day of nice weather for a bit, not sure what we will do but of course I will try to get out for a little while with Matthew.

A very Happy New Year, 2011 was a great year for us and we are so looking forward to moving in 2012 and watching Matthew continue to grow into an adorable toddler.
Will post pictures soon, but for now, just bear with me, it has been a very busy few days and I am still also catching up on school stuff...so ugh...can't dedicate time to the computer with company here and all the stuff going on...at least 2012 is starting off with a very busy schedule of catch-up for me.
