We've moved!

If anyone still reads this, I wanted to share that we've moved to a new home. A new blog home that is.

Feel free to catch up with us over at

Always playing catch up

Colorado has been fantastic! The area is beautiful, the weather is nice, and we even have some family nearby! It's definitely been nice being able to see Melissa and Joseph a lot more. I like that Amy has at least some family she can grow up being around. The rest of our family (and some friends) have even been able to come visit us more. We've also met some great people here, so we've been having fun getting out and doing things again! For most people, the list of things we've done would be nothing, but for us, it's quite a bit! We've been to Rocky Mountain National Park a few times, the zoo, the aquarium, the botanic gardens, the children' museum and a few other places around the area. We even went pumpkin picking a few weeks ago! I enjoyed it, but Amy did not. The pictures from that are still on my camera, but I hope to sort and upload them soon.


Enjoying some books Grandma Amy got her


Me and Amy at Rocky Mountain National Park

Running through the park

Just walking around. It was colder than anticipated and I forgot her jacket, so she borrowed mine


Another big thing that happened a couple of months ago, was that Amy was playing at a neighbors house when she fell and hit her head on a dresser. A few hours and an emergency room visit later, she emerged like a champ with 6 stitches. Once we left the hospital, she pretty much forgot they were there, so they didn't seem to bother her much, until it was time to take them out. That was pretty traumatic.


There is more to post and say, but I will (hopefully) add that soon. Didn't want to overwhelm people all in one post ;)
Just wanted to let you all know that we are still alive and kicking!

A bit behind

Or maybe way behind, seeing as how I haven't posted here since October. To update, a lot has changed since then. Amy is walking like a pro, has lots of teeth starting to come in, and just gets cuter every day (can I say that?) Oh, and we moved back to the US! That's the most exciting part :)
Brandon got a job in Boulder, Colorado, so we packed up and came down here. And we love it so far! We have an amazing apartment, got a really nice, used Jeep Liberty, and the weather has been wonderful. Amy is even sleeping good! She has never been a good sleeper and it seemed she was getting worse, but starting just a few days after we moved in to this place, she has slept through the night almost every night! The sleep has been fantastic :)

My mom also came up just a few days after we got here and helped us get settled in, so it was very nice having her here to both help us and spend time with Amy, who loved all the extra attention. And in a few weeks, Melissa will be here, which is also very exciting. Several people are planning trips to visit us, now that it is much closer and easier.

Brandon has been enjoying his job so far, getting along with all his co-workers and everything.
In short, everything has been great! So, I leave you with a picture of Amy.
