the big move and albuquerque

ok, so way back in july... we moved. i know. it has been a while. but we moved around the 20th of july to kansas! fun! and the day after the movers brought all of our stuff... we began a journey across the country. bryan wasn't able to take any days off during his residency program, so we decided to take a few weeks off and visit some family. we began our journey to new mexico. that was fun. nana and papa caravanned with us and the kiddos enjoyed the 13 hour drive.



well, most of the kids... here is raegan as we had to stop for a bathroom break. she hates using the little toilet in the car.


anyway, we arrived in nm and stayed for a few days! it was great to be able to spend time with nannie. grace and raegan think nannie has the best backyard (and i have to agree since i used to love to play there as a kid too!).




i have so many memories of rachel, aaron, and i, plus our cousins playing in that big tree. and grace and raegan can't get enough of it either!

while we were at nannie's house, jack successfully began to crawl on his hands and knees. it started when he would go up nannie's two small stairs into her kitchen. he still army crawls most of the time, but this was the beginning of the real crawl.

we love you, nannie (and nana and papa, too!)
