Images of our new town/Easter photos

I have been a little behind on the postings lately due to the big move and our preparations for our journey to Finland. The days in Maryland have flown by and now it is time to head back to North Dakota. I fly out tomorrow for Fargo to finish out my semester of teaching at Trinity. The time in Maryland has been full of getting unpacked and getting bills and utilities switched over to the new place. We are not fully settled in yet, but we got quite a bit done in the last week. We have met some neighbors and our new community seems like a very easy going and kid friendly type of community. The kids have already made some new friends, so that has really helped with their adjustment to the new environment.

One of the exciting aspects of being back in Maryland is being near the Chesapeake Bay and within a few hours of some beaches. The last time I lived in Maryland was from 1991-1995 and it was in the Appalachian mountains of western Maryland. I enjoyed my time there, but living near the water here in Havre de Grace should provide for some interesting things to do and new areas to explore.

I have included some photos of the kids playing at a park about 5 minutes from our place. This particular area is adjacent to a boardwalk and marina where the river and bay come together. The air is fresh and the views are a treat from this side of town. Another bonus is that the famous Maryland crabcake sandwiches are only a short walk away over at the Tidewater Grille Restaurant!

Little Kaylin had to get in on the fun too.

Even the older kids were part of the action.

Perhaps it is a member of an 80's rock band aka... Poison or Def Leppard

Look what I found!

So much fun, so little time.

Just a swingin!
