Moving Report

We made it into Utah on Friday night and are settled into an apartment in Sandy, just a mile from my new office. Hopefully, within six months we will find a house and move again!

This is our fourth move in five years of marriage. We are now moving professionals. Of course, that didn't stop us from hiring real professionals to do the work this time.

When we woke up on Saturday morning at Grandma and Grandpa's house, Alaina (Isaac's cousin) came over for a visit. Isaac was fascinated by her. He sat right next to her and held her hand for the better part of 20 minutes (he NEVER sits that long). Hopefully he will react the same way when our little arrives.

P.S.

If any of you have OB/GYNs, Midwives or Pediatricians in the Salt Lake area to recommend, I'm all ears.

Announcing...

Nope...no baby yet, but if life keeps going the way the last couple weeks have, she's not going to last until her due date.

We' re moving! Justin accepted a job with an awesome firm in SLC. We are hoping to move out there by Labor Day.

For those who are keeping track at home, Grace is due in 4 weeks. YIKES. Let's hope we don't have to have her in the moving van on the way. Justin seems to get me into all kinds of adventures, but this one is cutting things a little to close, don't you think?

We are a little nervous about moving to Utah, with all of those Mormons ;) And we are sad to leave Grand Junction. We loved living here. But, on to bigger and better things.

Steamboat Springs

Last weekend we went to yet another natural resources law conference. This time, it was in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. While I spent my days enthralled by lectures, Di and IJ played in the pool, checked out the botanical garden and enjoyed main street.

I let the pregnant one in our family decide on the food. On Friday, Di picked the restaurant and we headed down to main street for dinner, but Di couldn't remember the name of the place. She kept saying, "it is something brewery, something something brewery." To which IJ responded "BREWERY!" It is now his favorite word, to his grandmother's delight.

We had the joy of having friends (names withheld to protect the innocent) from Nebraska come to visit last week. The boys backpacked into the Wemanuche wilderness to the Animas river to flyfish for three days. The girls co-miserated about being pregnant in the summer, having kids so close together, ate out, flirted with boys at the farmer's market, and refereed the kids.

On Sunday, we headed to the Grand Mesa National Forest for a picnic. As you can see, IJ would NOT stay away from the creek.

We had a great time and can't wait to see them again!
