A Visit from the Cousins

Watching General Conference

The cousins.

Look at all those monkeys on the bed.

Last month our cousins (Dad's brother and his family) came down to see us.  It was such a great time, albeit short.  The kids watched conference together, played, walked some dogs in the rain and just bonded.  Most importantly, J Man was able to teach their oldest son the ways of being a wii addict.  Dad and I had a fantastic time just chatting with his brother and wife.  We love them so much and will miss seeing them when we move.

Big Changes!!!

We have two big announcements.  One, we are moving.  Two, I am pregnant!!!

We are moving to Denver, Colorado.  Dad got a job with Ernst and Young (one of the big four accounting firms.)  He will start this Monday.  Our house is under contract after being on the market for less than two weeks.  The way this has all worked out has been such a blessing, miraculous really.  I am so sad to leave our beautiful city and all of my awesome friends, but I am really excited for Dad to have a job with so much potential for growth.  The kids and I will stay a few more weeks to wrap things up here and then Dad will come back to move us out there.

The other exciting news is that I am pregnant.  We have been planning this one for a year.  The timing is a little crazy but I am pretty sure there isn't a convenient time to be pregnant.  We are expecting Vance baby number six in November.  The kids are all soooo excited.  I am happy to be doing this with so many helpers this time.  It is way easier!!!

So, lots of excitement here.  We feel so blessed.  I can't say that enough.  The Lord has been mindful of us and has been supporting us through all of this.  We are so thankful.
