John, Elise, Jack, Nellie

So, i'm finally getting around to getting some pictures up of our gorgeous surroundings! First is on of John on our Sunday adventure, we went into our backyard FOREST exploring. This is John next to a little stream we found, i'm thinking he was posing like he was going to dive in... After walking through the woods for a while, we came to a meadow that smelled amazing because of these little purple miracles of nature.

Next is just John and me, we are our own photographers.

This awesome picture is our balcony! We love our balcony, there's a little yard there below us that hardly ever gets used and then all there is is forest. John and i love to sit out there in the mornings and read, its so beautiful and peaceful and the birds are ALWAYS singing to us. Here's John reading to me his latest book on sales... We are on the second floor of our appartment complex and we love it here. Our mornings have been full of just hanging out, exploring, playing tennis, exercising.... its just been fun to be able to relax for a few hours in the mornings together. This morning we found a mansion. We'll have to go back and take pictures but its called Wadsworth Mansion and its a historical site of somekind. We're not quite sure yet who this Wadsworth fellow was or why he built a beautiful mansion but one of these days we're going to go back and get a tour, we're excited for that. There is also a mysterious Freedom Trail. Someone at church told John it goes all the way to Boston, it's kind of a big deal, but every time we try to get to it it is impossible to find. it's weird because there's signs on our main road but as soon as we turn the direction the signs point, then there are no more to guide you there....weird but we're still on the lookout, one of these days we're bound to run into it. The place we are living is just a cute little place, there's tons of winding roads to get lost on that all look the same to me...beautiful houses and lots and lots of trees. I am starting to feel more comfortable about finding places and exploring but still, i find myself lost quite often. So far there has been a lot of rain, i don't mind much, i love the rain, but i guess it isn't very much fun to knock doors in but everyone around here has swimming pools in their back yard, so it makes me think that the rain will go away and that maybe this is what spring is supposed to be like, lots of rain before the heat. Anyway, i'll quite rambling now and i'll post more about this place later ;)
