Perspective

As I'm stressing about our recent move and trying to scramble to find Avery a preschool that's perfect and a new dance school, doctors, etc. I stop and think about people like the Florida couple in these articles: Sarasota and Bay News 9.  

I went to high school with Cory.  Eden (also from Fort Wayne) went to Notre Dame and I met her through the scholarship we both received.  Eden lost her parents, was raised by her grandparents, worked her way through college prep school to get into Notre Dame and went on to Harvard Law.  It's so tough to put these things in perspective.  I mean, I often think about what we went through with Spencer and believe we've put in our dues, don't let anything that terrible happen to our little family again.  But then I find myself thinking about people like Cory and Eden who have been through a lot in one lifetime (and that's only 30-31 years worth) and then to lose a partner like this so young just makes me wonder what the bigger plan is.

I just thought I'd share their story with you.  I can't imagine having to go through this with my one and only and be left to live a long life without him.  Please make sure your loved ones always know how much they mean to you!

Change of Address

Needing a change of scenery-among other reasons-we decided to take a leap and finally move out of Fort Wayne.  We are now residing in the wonderful city of Cincinnati.  We're crashing with my father-in-law until we get organized and figure out a little more about the lay of the land and decide what school district we want the kids in.  So far, we like our new surroundings.  It's also nice that the big tennis tournament down here is right around the corner to welcome us-both Artie and I are volunteering as marshals this year.  Speaking of tennis, Avery has assimilated well into her new racquet club and the lessons she takes now are a great build on what she has already learned.  Since this is a private blog I'll go ahead and post our new address on here for those of you that would like it.

Belschner Family
5038 Lord Alfred Court
Cincinnati, OH 45241 


The "Orange Park," as Avery calls it, is literally right across the street from us and it's a very nice place to take the kids-even on hot days since there's water to play in!


Avery's happy her new home has even more flowers to pick than she had in Fort Wayne:)


For some reason there is this squirrel outside the Queen City Racquet Club, where Avery takes her tennis lessons.  Every week when we leave, Avery requests to have her picture taken with this tennis playing squirrel!

We're still in the process of finishing our move and logging lots of miles back and forth, but will hopefully be completely finished soon! Wish us luck:)!!
