A Blue Ridge New Year

Last minute, we decided to shoot to Blue Ridge, GA for a little get-a-way after Christmas. We had the privilege of spending the night at our friends, The Hoerls, and they blessed us by coming up for New Year's Day! We had the best time catching up with them and spending time with their family. The kids had a wonderful time together and played non-stop! They are doing wonderful and settled in their home. This is their third year and I'm amazed at how well they have handled all the changes in their home; from finding a church home, Heather's mom moving back to Florida, her homeschooling adventure and ANOTHER baby on the way which makes four! Heather and Mike do it all so well and have such a love for their family. We feel very blessed to have them as friends and miss them tremendously. I loved that we could just pick right back up where we left off last time we saw one another :) Had to put the picture of Mike playing Wii! He was trying to lower his Wii age!!! Seeing as Heather's Wii age was younger and she is pregnant!! :)

Funny thing ... we got to our cabin and the Hoerls had more surprise company!!! MICE!! Poor Heather! She saw it out of the corner of her eye .... she screamed ... she ran ... she jumped on the couch ... she left her kids at the table with no clue as to why Mommy had lost her mind and was standing on the couch five months pregnant!!!! Needless to say, this involved critter control and them pointing out all the cabinets in the kitchen the mice had visited. Three loads in the dishwasher later .... let's hope they find them fast before Heather has heel spurs from stomping all over the house so the deaf and blind mice know she is coming !!! LOL!!! LOVE YOU Heather!
