We're still alive

It's been so long since I've blogged that I almost forgot my password! So, here we are. Happy and settled in Redding. And no longer in school or training! We're DONE! Now we just have a billion dollars of student loans to pay off. Sigh...

Here's what we've been up to the last couple of months.

Exploring our new surroundings:
We went up to Trinity Lake (and almost died of carsickness on the extremely windy road to get there).

Our little man is growing up! He loved this pine cone.

Finding critters. It's what they do best!

The first day of school! The boys have been in school for a couple of weeks and they're doing great!
Search has a very kind teacher and he loves recess! It's his favorite part of the day. He's a great student but comes home everyday complaining of sore legs. From what you ask? Sitting criss-cross-applesauce! Ha! That's how you know he's in kindergarten :)
Must capture these rare, sweet moments! Destroy is also doing well at school. He has a teacher that is PERFECT for him. She is able to tame his wild side a little while showing love and praise. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better teacher for him.

After we moved we were able to go to two back to back family reunions. WITH Daddy! That was strange to have him for two whole weeks, but we weren't complaining! We first went to lake Almanor with Aaron's family, of which I have zero pictures. His sister Elana is the photographer so I need to get pictures from her.This is a bunch of cousins from my Dad's side while we were at Aspen Grove Family Camp. Destroy was in heaven with all these girls :)

In jail.
Oh, look! I do have pictures from lake Almanor! I had to document the boys' favorite thing to do while we were there. That would be riding motorcycles!
They couldn't get enough! Stay tuned with the blog - I'm on a roll!

It must be such a relief to be in this new phase of life after all that school. Congrats!
