Nicole turns 7!

Nicole turned 7 last week and we had a great time celebrating her birthday in North Carolina! For her special dinner we took her to a Japanese steak house. She was thrilled when they sang her "Happy Birthday", gave her special chopsticks, and took her picture! Then a couple of days later we hosted a cookout at the new house to celebrate with Aunt Brandi, cousin Camryn and a couple of JM's friends. It was a great trip and we can't wait to go back for good next month!
While we were down there we met with the people on base that arrange our move from NY to NC. We were surprised to find out that it will take 2 weeks for our belongings to travel from here to there! So we had to arrange for the movers to come about 2 weeks earlier than originally planned in order to make up for that time. So it is now crunch time in the Insetta house! (more like panic time for me!) The dumpster arrived today, and I'm sure I'll have no problem filling it right to the top!
And we have acquired some new "pets", tadpoles! The last time Melody was babysitting, they went into the cul-de-sac and discovered some tadpoles swimming in a big puddle. So we adopted 8 little tadpoles (which are now down to 6, 2 of them didn't take the trip to NC too well). They like to eat frozen lettuce, and the kids are just fascinated with them. JM wants to know what we are going to do with them when they turn into frogs, I'll be amazed if they make it that far! Nicole and Michael really love frogs, so it would be cool if at least one of them made it that far.....
So that's about it for now, hopefully will have time to post again before we move!
