We made our big move to Vancouver. It all worked out good. We had a few minor problems, but we got moved in and feel pretty settled. The kids started school today and loved it. They had a special meeting place for recess incase they didn't have other friends to play with. (That made me feel so sad as a mom moving them.) But they did great and made friends. :)
Matt and I got to go for a walk with Kai this morning. Weird to only have one kid. But it is great. Koby did great going for 6 hours and Mikaela can't wait to go back tomorrow. So it all went well. We love our house and have already had one family visit from Reno - the Arnolds. :) We would love more to come anytime.
The weather has been beautiful. We got to go hiking on Labor day. The two older kids did amazing. We went on a 2 mile hike. Koby was determined to be the first one up the mountain and he was. Then of course it was a race to see if Mikaela could be the first one down. (And she was.) I took Kai on my back and he sang the whole way. It was very cute!
I had my 32nd b-day two days after we moved here - Good timing. :) My best gift was that my mom surprised me and flew out the day before. It made the move so much easier to have her here. I worked her pretty hard, but we got the house unpacked and even managed to go shopping, to dinner and to the show.
Some of the pictures you will see...Our good friends the Demordaunts gave us a goodbye party. The Coonradts dressed up in black to show they were in morning. We will miss Reno very much and all of our good friends. Also are pictures of us going to the Zoo with our good friends the Cochran's who live out here and our hike to Multnomah falls.
So now life gets back to normal with school and soccer schedules. The kids started soccer practice in August. Matt had them registered before we even moved. They both practice two times a week. We stay busy!
Love to you all!
