Comings and Goings

We moved down to our current home about 15 months ago. I had a hard adjustment at first, living far away from our families, trying to adjust to a longer commute, and going to one car. But we knew the move was what was right for our family. It allowed us to pay some medical bills off, but really taught us such a valuable life lesson. It is a lesson Lilly and Ryker had both started to teach, and one we will continue to learn, but one we have really gotten a better grasp on. Because when life gets hard, sad, scary, you have to learn to rely on your family. Mike and I were able to grow closer here, Jacob and Collin had to really learn to get along, and it made us appreciate the time we were able to spend together.

Now, another step in our life is coming, and that is moving back to the immediate area we moved away from. We will once again be closer to our families, and I feel like it has given us a whole new perspective. I am excited to be able to make a short commute home, excited for my boys to see their Grandparents more, and other extended family, and really excited to be closer to our doctors (especially with me hitting the 3rd trimester here in a few weeks). What will be hard is finding and giving our beloved dog a new home (although I am really hoping my brother will take him) and seeing my boys miss their dog.

I wanted to share some pictures of a fun day we had together, as my schedule now allows Mike and I to be off every other weekend together, and it was really nice to spend our first Saturday at the splash-pad together. Sorry for the photobomb, but they were just some really fun and cute pictures.
Our fetal echo is this week, so I will update with that news, hopefully receiving the all clear. Off to bed, as this pregnant gal needs her rest. :)
