Big Changes

Right before we left for our trip to Boston, we found out that we are being transferred to Hartford, CT with Jeff's company. We are excited for this move. It is a good step for Jeff's career and it brings us closer to some of our family. We will be 3 hours from my sister Mary and her family, and we will be 1 1/2 hours from my brother Michael and his wife, Nicky. Of course with all of the excitement comes sadness as we close this chapter of our lives. It will be hard to leave the great friends that have become our Texas family. It is bitter-sweet but we feel that it is the right move for us.

We don't know the date that we will be moving yet but Jeff has to report to the Hartford office on January 4th, so we will be moving in the next few weeks, maybe before Christmas even. I thought that we would have a couple of months to prepare for a transfer, but they need him now. So off to Connecticut we go.

Mikey is Hitched!

We just got back from a wonderful trip to New England for my brother Michael's wedding.  They were married in the Boston temple and it was beautiful.  I will add some pictures  of the great day soon, but for now here is an engagement picture of the happy couple.


 
 I am so happy for these two!

Chloe Turned One!

I can't believe my baby is 1! Here are some pictures from our little family party.

Happy Girl

Gimme Gimme!

Just as suspected, Chloe LOVED the cake

Blowing bubbles in approval

Yummy!

Chloe continues to be such a sweet girl and we are so happy that she is a part of our family!

A Happy Mother's Day

I got Selina to sing her rendition of "I am a child of God" on camera for me today. It's kinda long, but I thought grandparents and others might enjoy watching.

When I was getting Chloe ready for bed tonight, her dress got stuck on her head and Selina and I had quite the laugh. I just had to get a couple of pictures of her (does that make me a mean mom?).




I got a couple of cute ones of the girls as well:


Love those dimples!!!
