We've moved!

I am sure that some, if not most of you knew that we were moving to Indiana this summer. Well, we're here! We are starting to get settled and back into a good routine. The house is starting to become more like home, and we are starting to find new friends and find our way around this (much bigger than cozy Ames) town. We will miss Iowa tremendously, but look forward to new adventures here. We are enjoying our new ward. Daniel has been called as a primary worker, and they must be stumped with me because I still don't have a calling. That could either be a good thing or a bad thing. :)

Because I favor looking at photos to reading long, drawn out posts, I will post a TON of photos to update you on our life. :)

We visited the Iowa State Dairy Farm about a week before we left IA. It was a lot of fun.

We especially enjoyed petting the calfs and eating dairy products! 

Just before we left our "Iowa home." 

Heather had a very hard day the day we left Iowa. On top of having to say goodbye, she bonked her face and got a swollen lip, and got a bee sting (literally moments before we got in the car to leave),  but we were able to get a smile out of her, and we had a (mostly) uneventful drive to Indiana. 

Our "Indiana home."

After a very busy first week, we needed to bake (and eat) some yummy cookies. The kids got to lick the beaters.

Mmmm...

There's just something happy about licking cookie dough from the beaters. 

Heather: Look at Josh's face! Josh: Uhhh, are you going to eat that?

Decorating 4th of July cookies. 

 Heather was super excited she got to stay up and do fireworks and eat cookies and (homemade) ice cream with mommy and daddy!

Not a great photo of Heather, but some of you have been wondering what our new van looks like. Well, that's what it looks like! :)

"Reading train." Yep, our main room has camping chair furniture for now. Just until we can get a nice comfy chair for our "reading corner."

There was a little girl, who had a little curl....

Picnic on the balcony.

I love to see the temple...

We went to our new temple in Louisville on Saturday. It was a good day. 
Hope this post hasn't been TOOO boring. We love you and miss you all!

Oh Steph! How fun to see where you are living now. Your apartment looks nice! And your kids are of course still just as cute as ever. Glad things are going well over there. Sure love you and miss you!

Pictures are the best anyway. Especially when you have such cute kids. ;)
