Lots of Good News!

In case you haven't heard....the Boston Blairs are moving to Lynchburg! We are so happy and so blessed to be moving back home, close to our families, and we are ready to commit ourselves whole-heartedly to a great southern community! Price will be teaching at Lynchburg College as an Assistant Professor of Biology and I will be the new Library Media Specialist at R. S. Payne Elementary School. YAY!

Almost 8 years ago, we left Lynchburg to move to Boston and pursue graduate degrees. Life in Boston has been amazing and given us SO much (most importantly, Brantley!!) and we will never, ever forget our time here. Now we happily move forward to a new life, one filled with loads of promise and lots of southern charm. We couldn't be happier!

We hope you'll continue to follow our journey as a family. We'll be pretty busy in the months to come, but do check back from time-to-time. We will do our best to keep you up-to-speed with all the change ahead.

Now for a quick Brantley update! His top front teeth are both coming in. I have a feeling this is all part of his master plan, so that he can tackle as much solid food as possible. He is on the verge of crawling and is creatively moving around in his own way. Lots of spinning circles on his belly. Just yesterday, he pushed himself up from his tummy to his bottom. This is a big step for a baby who is determined not to roll over. We're having so much fun with him! More pictures to follow....

So happy!

Loving the swing

I wonder how much longer that cute hat will fit his noggin?

It's P-Daddy!

Loving the toys in the park

Hugs...
and kisses!

A Special Gift

Price and Brantley gave me a very special gift for my first Mother's Day. Click on the box below to see a video of my wonderful journey (so far!) into motherhood. Make sure you have your speakers on so you can hear the music, and you might want a tissue, too!

Thank you, Brantley, for making me a Mom.

Brantley is 9 months old!

Looking so sweet, but boy was this picture difficult to take.

He's so interested in the sign!

Where's the sign?

Easter in Lynchburg

We are in recovery mode after a wonderful trip home to Lynchburg. We managed to pick the BEST week of the year, in my opinion. It was warm and sunny and the beautiful spring blooms were out in full force. It was a Blanderson reunion with Banks, Jenne and Beatrice making the trip form Oregon, Raine staying for most of the week, and Blake visiting for the weekend. We loved being together!

Happy to see the Spirea blooming
