The SmithAldridges Arrive in North Carolina, Y'all!



We made it! We are now in the Murphy, NC mountains on approx. 30 acres of (mainly) forested land. There is a small 3 bedroom cabin with a great 65ft. porch, a creek, a pond & lots of area to explore! And bugs. Lots of bugs to entertain Myles!

Like this ginormous praying mantis

And this katydid

Look at his cute little face!

Looking for dragonflies on the pond (it's easy, they are everywhere)

Life on a pond




We got Myles a kid fishing pole for the pond. It has "Iron Man" on it. Myles has no clue who superheroes are, that kinda thing, but when he sees their stern faces, he thinks they are all rude. So, whenever he wants to fish, he says, "I need my rude guy fishing pole. Where is rude guy?" We have since taught him that they aren't rude, they're serious. So, he'll say "Captain America is very serious. Superman is so serious." 

Rude fishing.

Property hike

Found this baby caterpillar in our car. Now Myles' friend.

Life in the South requires rain boots!

Papa & Ollie, waiting for BBQ

A BIG HUGE THANK YOU to Papa & GG for letting us stay in their mountain home while we determine our next move. And a super duper special THANK YOU to Papa for taking the time to help us move, chasing Clayton for over an hour in a field somewhere in OK, loading up & driving & then unloading that big noisy truck, getting us set up & being the best Dad & Papa in the whole world! We love you!!!
