A quick romp

Libby has been very patient while we set up the house and run errands to get life in working order. These tasks are easiest to take care of while the boys are in school, so she has been helping me a lot these past few weeks.

We take breaks from this boring stuff as often as we can... even if it's just exploring the neighborhood a little.

Easter eggs

The kids had Good Friday off of school, so we joined some new friends to dye eggs at Bougainvillea Park.

Park outings

 

First day at Estrella Mountain Elementary

We moved to Arizona, or why I've sucked at blogging lately

Travis immediately fell asleep on the floor once we arrived at our new house. This captured the sheer exhaustion of the last several weeks.

We love Arizona and are excited about what lies ahead!

Classic Travis
