DC Update!

Ok, so life has changed so much since last month. I'll have to do a pic catchup later this week, but I'll include a few of my favs with this post. We obviously made it safely to DC with the help, love and prayers of so many friends and family. We could NEVER have done this without the help of all of our parents! They really made this transition possible and we want them to know how much we love them and appreciate all they have done for us!! Thank you to everyone that helped us in this move--friends and fam from Washington state to Utah to Missouri to Virginia to Connecticut to DC--and probably some in between all of that!

We were able to move right into a four bedroom townhome the day we got here. We LOVE it!! It'll be nicer when it is all unpacked, but the recovery on this third c-section has been a little more difficult! (ouch :) It was great to have so much time with Evan off, but as of yesterday he is in Tech training for the Honor Guard. Those who have been through it say it was the worste 8 weeks of their entire life, so this could be interesting. We realize the two months of training will be difficult and we won't see Evan much, but we are greatful to all be here together as a family!!

The kids are adjusting. We went to a playgroup today and they met friends both of their ages. And--a 5 year old girl for Carsyn to play with!!! (For those who don't know, Carsyn has NEVER lived around a girl her age, so this is a BIG thing!!) Peyton is growing like a weed, which puts her at HUGE status since she started out big!! She is getting prettier every day and it's fun to watch her develop more each day. The last 2 days she has started to smile more and really focus on everything around her. She is 5 weeks old now and just a sweetie to have!

I am going to update all of the past month (for journaling sake) this next week, but obviously the pictures will be from then, so enjoy these few current ones of the kiddos! They are just so cute and we really feel so blessed to have them!

I just took these (with the help of Carsyn) tonight right before I blogged!!

See the massive chunkiness?? So stinkin cute!!

We took this last Sunday night when we walked to the end of our street and watched the airplanes take off and land at Regean National Airport--right across the river!!

He's just cheesin it up before church last week!

This was taken quite a while ago at Grandma's, but I just love the pic!!
