The last month

Sorry for the lack of posts, but we have been crazy busy with first packing our house up, packing the truck, Nate's graduation, then moving out to Dayton, and finally unpacking.

This was just a little fun we had in our backyard. When we were packing boxes we found we could only neglect our kids for so long during the day. So we would try to actually do some sort of activity in the afternoon. This video highlights Kali's fearlessness.



The weekend before we moved we had a BBQ at the park by our house with all of our friends. Thank you Anne for organizing it.

After we packed up our stuff in our truck for it to drive out to Ohio we went down and stayed with my parents. We then came up on Sunday June 7th for Nate's graduation from medical school. So now he is technically a doctor.

After the three hour long ceremony we went back to our vacant house and had a little party with food and fun. Thank you Mom and Dad for organizing and putting it all together. It was delicious.
Kali loved the strawberries. You could see her little hand go up onto the table to reach another one. She also would go around and try to steal them from other people's plates.
Nate secretively bought me some nice earrings as a thank you gift to me for enduring the last four years. Thank to my sister Lora in assisting him with the selection process.Lora and Nate
The girls all loved playing with each other. Nate's brother John and his family came down. Bristol loves her cousins.
Nate's grandpa also came up from San Diego. It was so nice to visit with him. Also his sister Jaime came with his mom from Utah.

Well the last month was a whirlwind. I am going to miss all of our family and friends in California. I also will miss the weather I am sure, but am very thankful for AC. I will be posting pictures of our new house soon so keep checking back.

I am so glad you are safely in Ohio now. I hope things go well for you there. We will miss you here for sure. Thanks goodness for blogs. It doesn't seem like you are so far away. Congratulations to Nate on his graduation. That is something.

That was so sweet that he bought you earings. Next should be the necklace, braclet and ring to match. LOL
