Finalizing Moving Plans

So we've got the truck for sale on the Internet and now we're just praying that it will sell in the next two weeks. Since we can't fly Murphy to DC with us now that it's the summer season, Jay will drive a U-Haul across the country with Murph to keep him company. He'll leave on the 15th and the kids and I will follow on a plane a few days later. That will be a great introduction to our new ward: Brother and Sister Snow need help moving in to their upper-level apartment on a week night. Any volunteers?
Here's an update on our sickly child: He still has a sore throat and a fever off and on but he looks a lot better and I really do think that the worst is behind him. Poor Jayson. He's really had it. We miss our cheerful boy.
Aidan got up on his hands and knees and tried to crawl last night! He was up for about 10 seconds and scooted back a tiny bit before he fell down. Hooray for Aidy!

Steph,

You are my hero for being so diligent with your blog. I am SOOOOOOOOOO impressed. Reading it made me tearful. I am going to miss you guys. You do have a beautiful family...(perhaps that is because you are related to me - haha). Your slideshow is awesome. You will have to show me how to do it sometime. I am serious about babysitting this week so you better take me up on it. PLEASE!

Love ya!

Crystal said...

Absolutely love your blog!! Keep it up. The pics are so fun to share with my roomies and co-workers.

If you give me the date that Jay will arrive with the U-Haul, I can probably get a group of friends to come over that evening to help you unload it. So no worries there!

Keep me posted on your activities. Can't wait to have family in town!

Hey Steph,
Congrats you guys on the new job and the move. That is so exciting and I am sure Crystal is excited to have you close by. Keri got here on monday and should be spending this weekend with us. Khali is due on Sunday and hoping the baby comes before then but nothing has happened yet so she may need to take measures into her own hands. The boys are ready for the baby but I don't know if te wairua understands what is coming. I guess he will soon. Well good luck on the move. We will check your blog every once in a while. Check out ours to. Love ya heaps.

Love Dean, Khali and the boys and the new arrival

I can't wait for Aidan to learn the Haka in New Zealand. Hopefully it will prove to be an effective way for him to release aggression, and he can stop throwing balls at my head.

feel like dancing?

Jayson singing "The World is So Big"

In case you have trouble understanding...

The world is so big and oh, so round
And even God's creations are almost so found.
Brothers and sisters and trees so tall,
animals big and animals small.
The world is so big and oh, so round
And even God's creations are almost so found...
etc, etc.

The correct words are:
The world is so big and oh, so round
And in it God's creations are found.
Mountains and valleys and trees so tall,
Animals big and animals small.
The world is so big and oh, so round
God loves us all, His blessings abound

A Photographer in the Making

Jayson loves taking pictures! He took most of these while we were on vacation in Washington and a few at home. I love that he takes pictures of himself. He then asks me to show them to him and he giggles a little when he sees what terrific shots he's gotten.
