Moving and Life in Boise

Jack's last meal.

It was hard to say goodbye. I had a difficult time leaving the apartment we were in for over 3 years- the longest we've lived anywhere in our 8 years- and the first place where we were finally able to bring a baby home. It was hard to say goodbye to good friends. It was hard to leave Oregon. It was good to us. It was scary to transition from students- where people tell you what to do, how to do it, when to do it and give you money to do it- to what I call adulthood.


But we're here! And we're so excited to be here. We love being so close to Parker's family. Parker is really enjoying getting his practice going. (He bought an existing practice here in Boise. Things are going really well. He's learning A LOT and loving it.) We have already had family dinners from both sides of our families. Parker has gone to 2 BSU football games... they are CRAZY fans here. I'm pretty sure they ask you to leave the city if you're not a fan.

Jack has been having a ball exploring his new territory. He's still not quite walking, but getting pretty close. He's talking a TON- not saying real words, but acting like he is.

Doesn't he look like SUCH a big boy? I can't get over it.

He went out to mow the yard with Dad. If you click on the picture below, you can see how thrilled he is about it.


He's having a blast living near his cousins. We went to the zoo and all he wanted to look at was Kage and Sophie.


I just had to add this cute bear... a sloth bear.


My mom already came for a visit this last weekend! Jack adores her. They played hide and seek and she took him for walks. We had such a great time. She helped me get my house together. We're finally (mostly) unpacked. Thanks, Mom, for the great weekend and all of the help!!


I can't believe we're here- in the place we'll call home for a VERY long time. We're excited to see what Boise has in store for us!!
