Slight Change of Plans

In case you have not heard... we moved to Oklahoma! We both found new jobs and thought it was time to return to our roots. It was a bit crazy, but everything kept falling into place, so why not?
This was my view for three days. Ben rode up in the truck with Dad the whole time, while the girls rode with me. We had a great time singing to all the Dixie Chicks and Disney songs we wanted!

The first sight of Braum's was a sweet sight. We stopped for lunch. It was also in Kansas when the heat first hit us. Luckily now, about a month later, it has cooled to the low 100's.

Little Lily with Grandma and Grandpa.
The very best part of the move has been living 6 minutes from Grandpa and Grandma. Why oh why did we wait so long?
We are all settled in and the kids started school this week. Thank you Oklahoma for Pre-K! Miss Maggie gets to go all day everyday!! I think they are enjoying it and making new friends.

Wow Maggie looks a lot like you! Being close to Grandma and Grandpa is great! We sure miss it. Camille's going to start pre-K it's only 2.5 hours a day but I'm not really excited that it's 5 days a week. I'd be happy with 2 or 3 days personally.

So glad you made it and are settled. Syd asked about you just last night, wondering if you had started the new jobs and how is all was. Thanks for the update.

Oh how wonderful! I'm glad you can be near family. Your kids are beautiful. And how nice they have pre-k!

I'm glad you're near family and happy. How sad, though, that in the past years of living just a few hours apart we only got to see each other once!! So glad we still have blogs. :)

I am so happy for you that you are close to family again! But I am so sad that I didn't get to say goodbye! We are in Utah now and so close! Your kids are so big and so cute!
