Hooray for Jen and Doug and the Cousins!

While Russ was gone for a couple weeks, my sister Jen was kind enough to bring her kids out for a visit from Florida (they get free stand-by flights). We had such a great time! Yes, there were moments of crazy with six kids under the age of six. But, there were also many moments we laughed so hard I almost wet my pants! The kids had so much fun together. So did Jen and I!




Jen even managed to convince Doug to come out for a day to check out Albuquerque. Maybe we can convince them to follow us just one last time:)

On to Albuquerque...

Next step: on to Albuquerque! We finally made it, and Russ unexpectedly had to work in Colorado less than 24 hours later, so the kids and I went to work on the boxes and exploring our new town.

One week later Cole started school. Parker wanted a picture of his first day of preschool as well (we do it 2 days a week with a little group of boys from church).

Mason's favorite spot in the house.

Sadie has been terrified of the vents. She learned to crawl shortly after we arrived here (yes, I finally gave her the go ahead...) but she would get over the vent and freeze when she felt the air coming out, and then scream until I came and moved her. One of the boys brought home a balloon, and all of a sudden it was a whole different story.
