A Big Change

Well most of the people in my life already know this but we are moving to Omaha. We have a date and everything now. Matt will start at his new job on Aug 31st. So that gives us just over a month to move and then in just under a month we will have another baby. The timing is really bad and we're probably crazy but this will be a good move for us. Leaving our family and friends here is a hard decision. We love all of those close to us and will miss them terribly. Their places can never be replaced. Family will be visited, for sure, and friends will be seen again.

We've moved before and I'm sure we will move again but, hopefully, not for a while. We are hoping to set down roots and raise our family in an area that will meld more with our desires and beliefs and we think that Omaha is the place. Although we won't be as close to the ocean or mountains we will have the slower pace of life and other Midwest things we have missed so much.

The big question of the move is, of course, how is this die hard Boomer Sooner family going to
survive in Cornhusker country?

P.S. - I will need a new name for my blog, since I won't be lost in Mass anymore, so any suggestions will be heard.

The kids with Papa

So I have Easter pictures up. I know, it's about time. I haven't really taken many since Easter so my normal practice of waiting till the card is full hasn't worked very well. I should have more coming soon since my mom will be in town on Tuesday and then I have a really really good excuse to take a bunch of pictures.

Just swingin' in the snow ...

So my pictures have been held hostage on the computer up stairs. After a long and tedious struggle I have won them back and posted everything through our trip to Maine in January. All the others are on the camera and I just haven't done anything with them yet.

The Great Daddy Dilemma

Riley has gotten into the habit of calling Matt "Mommy". It drives Matt crazy. I mean, it really bothers him. We correct Riley every time but it doesn't seem to sink in. It's actually pretty funny, but then again he gets my name right.

Happy Easter

I hope that most everyone had a great Easter Weekend. I know that Alexis and Riley did.

On Saturday we went to an Easter party held by one of the families from church. There was a magician, balloon animals, an egg hunt, great food, and baskets for all the kids. Man can Sunia throw a party.

On Sunday after church we went to RI where the kids got more baskets and more candy and then we had a wonderful dinner with Matt's family. For us it was a great weekend.

For others I know the weekend was not so good. One of my friends that I grew up with, Zach Hawley, and his wife Hayley lost their daughter, Harper, on Saturday morning. It is hard for me to write this and I know it is even harder for them to go through this. Pray hard for them and their families during this time of great sorrow.
