 So this is my typical blogging occurence...once or twice a year when there is an addition to our family and Christmas time... If that.  Merry Christmas everyone!  We are so blessed with such a wonderful life, and such amazing, cute kids.  We have enjoyed this year so much.  Living in rural Pennsylvania is treating us well.  Keith is enjoying his job, and we are loving our branch family, and all our friends and teachers, etc in the community.  Hope you are all doing well, and are not stressed but enjoying this wonderful Christmas season.  Love, The Busby's 

Jared Whitmer Busby was born Friday April 13th. He is 7 weeks old already. He has grown and changed so much.

My Faith

Merry Christmas!

I just tried to send this, and the whole blog post I made got erased. So frustrating. Anyways, haven't posted forever. Alot has happened since we posted last. We have moved to Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania. A cute litte town in Northeastern, PA. We're only about 2 1/2 hours from NYC and Philly, but you would never know it. It is very rural. Keith got a job internally with P&G working at their paper plant in Mehooooopaney. Did I add a couple extra o's? It has a funny in the sticks name to it. They make Charm'in, Bounty, and Pampers there. He is really enjoying it. Very different than working at corporate. He enjoys learning more everyday, and the change of pace.

We live only five minutes from the plant. The kids go to Mehoopaney Elementary school, only a few minutes past the plant. So I love it because Keith often drives the kids to school if they miss the bus, we call it the blue batman bus. The kids love that bonding time with Dad, and of course I love it. Kayla is in first grade, and Luke in kindergarten. They are loving their teachers, and having lunch at school, and all that new stuff that comes with full day school.

Darren is enjoying afternoon preschool twice a week. Today he got so excited to tell me about his day as we were leaving he backed up into the school vacumn. He's so cute. Though he does miss napping those days. Today he told me on the way, "mom, I don't think I got enough sleep last night". He naps every other day, and lately falls asleep on the way home.

We are expecting again. Our little boy is due to arrive April 13th. So certainly he should most likely arrive in April sometime. Kayla groaned when she found out it was a boy, but the boys cheered. Luke made a Thanksgiving grateful turkey for school, and wrote he was grateful for his baby, and family. Kayla used to ask everyday if she could feel the baby kick. She has stopped for now, but it is hard to explain to kids a few months. We are all looking forward to it.

The kids loved Halloween, and they looked so cute in their costumes. Kayla was snow white, a beautiful costume made by her Grandma Busby for her birthday. She was delighted with the outfit. Luke was Jack Sparrow again, not that he gets old, Darren was Woody, a costume we got from Disneyworld in February, and have waited to debut it ever since. So cute! And Charlotte was Minnie Mouse for inside events, and a monkey for the actual trick-or-treating. She was putting up quite a fuss when I was trying to put it on her, and didn't want to wear it at all, but once I got it on her I couldn't get her to take it off. She would bring it to me everyday for that whole week. She wore it out every wear we went until the next Saturday. So funny.

We are loving our little Tunkhannock. It is beautiful here, we have a sweet little branch, and its different, but we are adjusting. We miss all of our friends in Cincinnati though. Hope you are all doing well. The Busbys

Charlotte sporting her ASU cutie pie outfit. Luke's pictures he taped all over Dad's wall. Our family on Fourth of July morning at the bike parade. Yeah, we don't look that festive, but I did win a race that morning! It was a rush getting ready for the parade.

Kayla has lost four teeth!

 

 

 

 

Back in February while we were at Disneyworld we noticed that Kayla's bottom teeth were growing in, but her baby teeth hadn't come out yet. It creeped me out because I had never seen that before, but the dentist said no problemo. He said the baby teeth would come out on their own and the others would move forward. In April right before we went to Boston her first tooth came out. Grandma and Grandpa Busby were here. They enjoyed partaking of that experience. Kayla was so excited. I can't remember when the other bottom one came out, but I think only a few weeks later.

Her top teeth have been wiggly forever, but on the way home from Pennsylvania one popped out in the car. Last week Luke knocked her accidentally in the pool, and loosened the other one. It was loose for several days. She looked so redneck because it was almost sideways it was soo loose. Then Charlotte knocked her again. See the fat lip? And then it was really loose. In one second she pulled it out. She now can see all I want for Christmas is my tooth front teeth honestly. She looks pretty cute.

Our Quest to Move

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So with P&G in the HR program they get to change roles every couple years or so. Keith has been looking around, he applied for roles in NYC, then Connecticut. Keith flew out there, and then we were going to Miami, and when out on a trip to check it out when The Mehoopaney plant role showed up. We are now moving to Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania. The plant there is where they make pampers, bounty, and Charm'in. It will be a great experience for Keith, and I think a fun adventure for our family living in a small town. We are looking forward to being only a couple hours from the NYC, Philly, and not too far from DC and Boston, and Palmyra.

We went there last weekend with the kids, and found a house, and we are in contract. We are excited as we think about how we are going to arrange things and what not. We had a really fun time there skipping rocks in the Susquehanna River, and getting icecream at the local "Freez". Mehoopaney, here we come.
