Phew!!!

So, we packed up our stuff and all our amazing Santa Barbara memories and landed in Orem, Utah (Billy is starting at BYU as a Visiting Professor in the English Departmet this Fall)!


We celebrated with some Macaroni Grill,


started second grade,

finally bought some yard tools,

and a bunkbed for the boys,

started Kindergarten,

reconnected with some old Goleta friends (we love you, Allens!),

tried on Mom's makeup,

and the new crib,

figured out the commute to work,

bonded with Brigham (in Daddy's office... check out that view!),

met Cosmo,

...oh, and smelled the roses along the way!
