On a lighter note, this last weekend we went to Nolan's families house to spend time with his family. His sister, Jill who lives in Ohio, was there also and so it was really fun to see her. She was also my roommate in college and the reason Nolan and I met. We both had baby boys a month apart,
and are now both expecting girls in September, talk about timing. I am bummed we didn't get a belly shot together. Matthew and Thomas got along pretty well, even though Thomas was pretty intrusive on Matthews personal bubble. Thomas was loving the new toys and house to explore all weekend.
It is so fun to be there, I'm lucky to have great in-laws. We went boating and Nolan took Thomas on the knee board, he actually enjoyed it a little! Nolan with golfing and we were able to squeeze in a few games here and there. Driving home from Malta was strange since we went the opposite way we normally would. Washington is home, I have to keep reminding myself. It's still weird to think about. The 7 hour drive was not nearly as convenient as the 2 hour one use to be, but we'll manage!

Which brother had surgery? Crazy, and Nolan's mom, even crazier. Will she be in a wheel chair forever or are there things she can do to get out of it? Man, seriously tumultuous.
I hope all is going well now. We can't wait to see pics of your family. + the new addition of the baby girl. Those pics of T and M are so dang cute. I love that car garage

Wow, lots of happenings in your families. Trials and new adventures...that is what it is all about, right? I know they are not all so great, but the great thing is we learn and grow from all of them. Just so you know, we are glad you are here in Washington!! It has been so much fun getting to know you guys and we will try to get through our time here in Walla Walla the best we can.....together!!!
Glad to hear you are doing well, despite of all the drama. Yes, I took the pics of Grady on my blog in tne slide. He isn't 9 months yet, we actually went and got 8 month old pics at the studio. I just wanted to take these cause my mom took some of my nieces, (it is out behind her house.) I thought they would look so cute in sepia.
Everything always seems to hit at once! I'm wishing you all a peaceful, enjoyable fall! Hope Nolan's mom continues to improve. Life is so tough sometimes. I'm so glad you got to go to Malta and see family. I bet that was a nice break and tons of fun. Thomas is growing, he looks different to me. That makes me sad because it means we haven't seen you in awhile! Still missing you guys! Hope you're feeling somewhat good these last few weeks!
I'm with Amy I'm super glad your here in Washington. Man it has been a crazy 08! lets try to tone it down a little -k-:) If it means anything we really did miss you guys even though we just met you! I'm sure we can think of some crazy and fun things to to that you can blog about:0)
how do you like my "to to" I ment "to do" also I had a REALLY hard time coming home from my first trip home... did that make any sense? It just did not feel like home yet.
Man, it has been a crazy year for you guys! And it's not even over yet! I didn't know about Danny or NOlan's Mom. That's sad. I'm impressed you guys drove all that way to Malta. Sounds like you had fun and those boys look cute together :)
kimberly is doing infertility treatments? someone should just tell her to relax. :)
I can totally relate. I think this year has been the craziest of my life too. But, I know for sure that with challenges come amazing blessings. These past few months have been the hardest and the happiest (that seems really impossible and corny, but it's true). I hope you feel many blessings in your life to outweigh all the chaos. You definitely deserve it. I'm glad you got to go "home" -- that always seems to make things better.
I should be better at leaving comments on your blog since you are the best commenter out there!!! Thomas is such a cutie! I am sorry to hear about Nolan's mother. Life is so crazy sometimes. Hang in there!
Wow, what a year to say the least. I had seen an entry on Jill's blog about their mom. I hope things turn around for her. And, I didn't realize your dad had been living in AZ. At least you're settling into your new home and meeting great friends! It's nice to have such a great support system through all of this.
I totally relate Ash. I hope 09' is a lot more relaxed. I think if I had to go through another year like this one, they'd have to put me in a funny farm. I'm glad that you guys are settled now. I probably haven't talked to you about your dad. I hope he's O.K. and this was for the best. I bet you're glad to have him back in Boise. Have a great day!
Do you feel like you're on a roller coaster only you forgot to buckle the belt and hold on? Just scream- it will make you feel better. :) The crazy ride will also be over before you know it. We are still missing you guys! I can't tell you how many times I have wished I could walk next door to sit and talk while Jack and Toms play. I miss that so much. I am so glad you guys got to go to Malta. Breaks like that always make things look brighter. I am sorry Nolan's mom isn't doing great- we'll be better about remembering her in our prayers too. I can't imagine what she or you guys are feeling. I guess we can have faith in the fact that the things we go through always turn out for our good in the end. If only we could get a glimpse of the end every now and then, right? We wish you guys all the best these next few weeks. If you can believe it, life is about to get more crazy! But in a good way- get ready for your heart to burst with love because this new one will be simply amazing to you, and will help you to remember how much your Heavenly Father loves you, and is aware of your little family. I can't wait to meet her! Lots of love, and give Toms a squeeze for me!
It always seems like all the craziness in life happens at once. Hopefully now that you are getting settled in Washington things will start to feel normal again. Did you finally sell your townhome? I noticed there is one less for sale sign out front. I can't believe its already August on Friday. That means you only have a little over a month left. Have you found a doctor yet? How have you been feeling? I am so excited to see your little girl!
I love the first picture with Thomas because we had that exact same toy car garage at my Grandma's house growing up! Memories. :)
