Back to Reality

It has been FOREVER since I blogged!  Oh my.  A lot has happened since I was last on here.  We had a wonderful trip to California and then have enjoyed an amazing post-vacation vacation here in Pittsburgh before Jeremy went back to school yesterday.  I have about 7 posts coming about our trip (!!!) but for now I'll just start with a few highlights.
  • My little sister's wedding!  Yea Heidi and Sam!  It was beautiful and wonderful.
  • Amazing California weather - 3 weeks of low 60s and sunshine.  Very good for the soul.
  • Christmas! And all that goes with that. SO fun this year.
  • Seeing every single one of our siblings, parents, in-laws, nieces, and nephews.  Hooray!! (Quite a feat gathering from 8 states!)
  • Jeremy accepting an internship for Sikorsky Aircraft this summer (can you guess where we'll be living? - no fair if you already know!)
  • New Years in Idaho - staying with my sis Amy and being at the blessing of Jeremy's little brother's first baby
  • RELAXING
  • Watching Eli have a blast with his cousins 
  • Coming back from Idaho and being the only family left after the holidays at my parents' house - movies every night and lots of down time
  • Going to the temple! (So nice to have a babysitter)
  • Seeing Jeremy all day everyday.  It was heaven.
We got back on the 5th and since then we have been readjusting to our time zone, playing lots of legos, trying lots of new recipes, staying up way too late, taking lots of naps, going to the Natural History museum, sleep-training Connor (2 nights in a row he's slept NINE HOURS STRAIGHT!!!) and just having a great time being together.  Jeremy started school yesterday so it's back to the grind! We feel completely refreshed and ready though, so that is a great feeling.  Stay tuned for LOTs of pictures and updates...
(Silly boys the day after we got back - cleaning up Christmas decorations)

Aren't you glad Papa taught Eli to wink? Ha, ha ; )

SO many updates! I can't wait to hear more! Where will you be living?
I know you asked me where we moved to and I haven't responded yet. I didn't want to post where we live online... but here's a hint. We live in the same town as Shawn and Anna W.
Does that help? :)

Cute pictures! I'm trying to gear myself up to post again, too. The longer I wait, the more behind I get!
