The Past Couple of Weeks...

...have been a bit cRaZy!

The school year finally ended for me and the summer began with a rousing game of Hungry, Hungry, Hippo...thanks to Denise from Lowe's! Then it was packing, packing, and more packing. Thanks to Walmart for all the boxes.



James FINALLY got his green cast off and now has a removable cast; just in time for swimming and playing in the sandbox!

We did take one day off to visit a local amusement park with some friends in hopes of regaining some of our sanity.


The hardest part was saying goodbye to all our dear friends.


But the kids and I arrived safely in Utah late in the night of July 4th (after a 3 hour delay in Hartford!). We spent July 5th with my family for a barbeque and fireworks. Then on Tuesday, the kids and I went to the zoo and I was able to get a couple of pictures before the battery died. So of course I missed pictures of the kids at the Days of '47 day at This is the Place Heritage Park and I didn't get any pictures of their new cousin, Ian. I FINALLY remembered to get a battery saturday night, so hopefully this next week will be a better picture week.

So far, we have enjoyed being back in Utah. My parents are SOOO excited to have the kids at home...and they like having me around too.... :) The mountains are so beautiful and I actually know which was is East! I used to think I had a good sense of direction and then I moved to Connecticut and lost all orientation.

Steve is still in CT, but the truck is loaded and ready to head out on Monday, 7/12. LOTS AND LOTS of thanks to all of those who helped Steve pack the truck.

Here are some of the images I did manage to get before the battery died:
