Fun Times with Family

We had an exciting journey on our way to California. We stopped in Montana to visit with my parents for a few days. The boys loved their hot tub! It was lots of fun and very relaxing after a 36 hour drive from Cleveland. From there we drove to Utah and stayed for a week. Jimmy, Ben, and Luke had the best time playing with their cousins. I wish we could have stayed longer. It makes me sad that they don't get to play with them very often. Derek and Jim took them to ride horses and they had a blast. Luke turned one and we had a little party for him too. It was a fun-filled, exciting week for all. I also want to say thank you to Craig and Sandy for letting us stay with them. They arrived home from a 9 month stay in Jerusalem just 2 days before we showed up and there were 14 people total staying in their house during that week so thank you for putting up with us. We loved every minute of it. I'm not sure if you can say the same but hopefully you enjoyed having us around a little bit. I'm sure your house is a lot more calm and quiet now that we are not there!

We are now at our new home in Los Angeles, California trying to get settled. Living in the city is taking some getting used to but every day it gets easier. There are people and traffic everywhere but no place to park! It's just different than I'm used to. I really hope I can adjust since we are stuck here for the next 5 years. On the positive side, the weather is perfect and the beach and anything else you want to do is within minutes. There is never a dull moment. I'm sure we will have lots of fun times while we are here :)
