One Last Campout

One of the greatest things about our family's time in Virginia Beach has been the close friendships we have been able to make. Our small group at church has given us several friendships that will no doubt be lifelong. Spending weekends camping together has been one of the favorite activities of our circle of friends. A couple of weekends ago we had a final opportunity to camp. The weather was beautiful and it was so much fun.

Working Out Their Swing

A couple of weeks ago on a beautiful sunny evening. Dylan, Austin and dad went to the park down the street to swing our golf clubs and play on the playground. We had a lot of fun.

Dylan is 6 YEARS OLD!!!

Today was not only Cinco de Mayo, it was more importantly Dylan's 6th birthday. It is so hard to believe that it has been six years since God gave us the gift of our first born son. He has grown to be a sweet, handsome and smart young boy. It was a busy day. At school he got to bring cookies to share with his class and wore a special birthday hat. He went out to lunch with his mom and brothers and then went to the movie "The Wild" with mom, dad and Austin. After the movie he invited his friend Josh over for pizza and opening presents. Dylan even got to stay up as late as he wanted to watch a movie he got as a gift. He'll sleep good tonight.

Brady's 1st Birthday

March 31st was Brady's first birthday. We had the fun opportunity to spend the weekend at a lakehouse in Edenton, North Carolina. It was a great place to relax and enjoy some time together. Dylan and Austin even got to take a canoe ride with Papa Nic.

The Muniz Zoo is open, really.

Wow, its been a long time since we updated. Sorry :( There has been a lot going on in the Muniz family in the past couple of months. Dylan and Austin are still enjoying Kindergarten and Preschool. Crit has just finished up his spring set of classes at Regent University and Shelby stays more than busy keeping up with her three kids, and teaching at Oak Tree Acadamy. Our little guy Brady, turned one on March 31st. He has learned to walk and is getting more confident on his feet everyday.
We spent nearly two weeks in Seattle and Port Angeles in April. It was a great trip visiting family and friends.
This leads me to our biggest news. After almost a year and a half in Virginia Beach, we're moving back to the Pacific Northwest. Crit has accepted a staff position at Mount Rainier Christian Center in Enumclaw WA. He is going to be the Family Life Pastor, in charge of Children's Ministries, small groups and anything else with regards to families. We'll be loading in our minivan on May 15th and making the 3000 mile drive.
We're going to miss everyone here in VA Beach but are excited about the change.
