It was so sad to leave Valpo - but leaving wasn't quite so sad when they just came out to visit within a month of us moving! (And that I planned on going back to Indi for Women's Conference a few weeks later).
The Bingham family came out here for a wedding and to visit family - so we got to hang out with them for almost 3 weeks straight! It was SOO fun and Brooklyn as in heaven. "My friends coming over today Mom?" she would ask, then list all 5 of the Bingham family's names off. Jack would hold her hand and take her everywhere, Savanah would make up all the games and make sure everyone was included and Brooklyn - as well as the others would make sure Charlie was always happy. It was a sad day when they left!
To make things sweeter, days after the Binghams left us, the Richardsons came into town and Brooklyn and her best friend Piper were reunited (:
We also got to meet the newest addition to the Richardson Clan! 3 kids under 3 - GO NIKI!
Fun Times with the PHIPPS
Though we miss our old friends, we have found more and We are in LOVE all over again!
We have found incredible friends here who have made our lives wonderful all over again!
You know, finding great friends as a couple is actually almost harder than dating! You not only have to find someone that is compatible with you, but who married someone who is compatible with your spouse and who have kids in the same stages as you. We we have found it all here with the Phipps and we feel like we have fallen in love all over again (;
The first day we hung out, we stayed up till 2am talking - and then the same the next night. I usually spend a part of each day with Janelle and her girls, do FHEs and meals together often, and spend most of our weekends together!
Here are some of our latest adventures:
Trip to Ikea and the Aquarium - we both have passes(:
Weekly Excursions to the Children's Museum - We both have passes there too (:
Eating together (We eat together about 3 or 4 times a week)
Hair Cuts with the Girls (Brooklyn's first!)
And an Incredibly fun Trip down to ZION National Park!
The ride there was an adventure! We learned our new car comes in quite handy though - 4 carseats and 3 adults fit - almost comfortably and when the Phipp's car broke down, the guys sat on the hood of our car while they pushed the bumper with their feet! Ahh memories!
All four parents hiked with a kid on us! Janelle tried the Wrap for the first time and loved it!
The kids were in heaven all weekend - even slept well in the tents (Can't say the same for the adults - except Janelle's Mom who brought a Cot - brilliant!)
Zion is out of this world! Wish I had more photos but my battery died about 2 minute into the hike!
