We're back!!!!

Hello from hot and sunny Arizona. We finally have internet!!!! So here are a few pictures of the inside of our house...and a few misc things from the last month of our summer (see other post below). Things here are going pretty well. We are so blessed to have such a nice place to live (compared to all the other places we have lived in), because Jason is gone a lot, so Jack and I spend a lot of time at home because it's so blasted hot outside!

This summer has brought some pretty crazy things. Living in Arizona hadn't even entered my mind until we got the call from ASU, but I'm happy to report we like it here. We REALLY miss everyone at home, but I believe we are here for a reason so I'll make the best of it :).

Jack has been such an amazing little traveler!!!! So many car rides and then searching and searching for a place to live... once we finally stopped and moved in here he started crawling. I can't believe it, my baby is crawling! He is so funny... he has discovered that he can sit up in his crib... This is such a novelty to him. Even if he is exhausted, he will sit up after I have just laid him down. It is so funny to see the top of his head when I look at the video monitor... just sitting there. He has fallen asleep this way a few times now (or slumped over) because he can't figure out how to lay back down comfortably. The funny thing is i'll go into his room and sound of opening the door will wake him up and he jolts up from being hunched over, looks at me, and smiles really big... It looks like he is saying, "What? I wasn't sleeping... I'm fine! Nope, no sleeping baby in here!" It is so funny.

Well we miss you all so much. Come visit us anytime. I'll post more pics as I take them.

Love, Laura

Finally at law school!

Falling asleep sitting up... don't worry we got rid of his bumper pad so he doesn't suffocate... but now his legs and arms get stuck in the slots.

Crawling!!! Way to go Jack!!

Our home! Thanks SOOO much dad for making it look so beautiful. (I'll post some of the bedrooms when they get done.)

Summer Fun

Here are a few things we did the last month of our summer... besides moving which was by far the high-light of the summer ;)

We decided to do something fun and went to Pike's Market-- for those of you who don't know about it, it is an outdoor/semi-indoor farmer's market in downtown Seattle by the waterfront. They sell everything from fresh fish to jewelry. It was such a cool place. They had people throwing fish, selling fresh baked goods, and the most beautiful fresh-cut flowers bouquets for like $5! Jason said he'd totally get me flowers all the time if we lived in Seattle :).

This is my parent's home. My dad works so hard on the yard in the summer so I thought he deserved some recognition! No one sees it and it is so beautiful... so here are some pics... I wish they were better. They really don't do it justice!

I get really ansy and totally chop all my hair off about every three years... it was actually good timing this time though. It's so nice having short hair in HOT Arizona. (My sister did it... she did a great job-- I don't know what I'm going to do without her here!)

Some misc. pictures of my boy...what a happy kid. Watching us load the truck...again.
Loving the swings!

The handsome couple ;)

Bunny, me, Jase and Jack at the Park before we left. (Sure do miss you!!)
