Just a Matter of Time

Before I did another sleeping one. The pictures are slowing down with those though, so don't worry. These are all I have for almost 6 months.

Emily fell asleep eating a bottle on our bed

Kids napping. Is there a more exciting sight?

I still can't figure out how he sleeps like this...

This one I get though.
cough

Never wake a sleeping baby!

Or a studiously sleeping Jason

I'm too jealous of this one to feel bad about waking him up.

Easter!

Easter happened to fall on the week that we moved up to Utah. The Schofields had driven down to pick up the bigger kids for us and bring them back so all we had to deal with was a moving van and the baby. It was a much nicer trip without all extra stress of three kids. The stress of packing and moving was plenty.

Here's the kids with their Easter Baskets

They had a special second Easter Egg Hunt in the pasture just for us.

Aunt Emily took Little Emily around. From all appearances it was a good time for both.
(Grandma made a special rule that kids less than one year old got a head start. Emily was the only one less than one. I wonder if Grandma was a bit partial... :)
Over Here!!!

Counting to make sure they don't have too many eggs

Looks like Ethan had fun too!

Found one!

Where'd the egg go George?

Happy Easter!

Super Heros! ??

I'm not sure what these costumes are supposed to be, but the kids sure had fun wearing them.


The 'strike a pose' santa.

Move to Utah

After some deliberation, we've decided it's time for us to move to Utah. There's a program that Mark will like up there that starts in late June. We think it would be smarter to get up there sooner rather than later for a few reasons. There's a house up there that's currently empty (the same one we lived in before) and if we wait too much longer there might be competition to get into it; jobs in the beginning of summer are easier to come by sooner rather than later in college towns; we'd rather be settled when school starts and not still moving in. Mark is also really not fond of his current job and is excited to be done as soon as possible and on to other things - whatever they may be.
Well, for better or worse, we've heading up there. The in-laws volunteered to come down and help us get cars/kids up to Utah. They flew down and then are driving our car and the two big kids up and keeping them for a week while we finish packing and follow next week. My mom will help us drive the truck and we'll take our second car with the baby. Hopefully we'll get all this done and finished!

It was a bit depressing how excited the kids were to leave... I have to tell myself that they didn't realize that we weren't following for a whole week. We tried to tell them, and they just seemed more excited to go see Ethan than they were sad to see us stay... I might get over it one day :)
