I've been meaning to update for a while, basically since we moved, but, you know how it goes. Our first few days here Will's parents had our kids (back in Provo), so we could drive the moving truck out and get all moved in and set up. Then they drove the kids out.
I must say, it was extremely nice to be able to move without them there - it would have really complicated things. We had to go from apartment to storage unit a couple of times to unload the truck. We didn't have any help unloading except for the piano and fridge, thank goodness a couple of guys in the Elder's Quorum were able and willing to help us out with those with pretty short notice.
Will and I had a good time being a "single couple" and had some fun late-night dates. We saw "Oblivion" one night, and another night we drove up to Lookout Mountain road and had ice cream overlooking the city lights. It was really fun! I hope I can find a good babysitter soon so that dates like that can continue. :)
Anyway, we got our kids back, and Ben was sick. He couldn't hold much of anything down for FOUR days. He wasn't super dehydrated, so I just watched him close, but man. He was one sick little guy. Thank goodness today he's finally feeling way better. He's still really sleepy but at least he's eating, drinking and playing. *whew*
So for the first time today we got to go do something together, we went to a park and had a picnic lunch.
I was so happy to see a face from him that was not crying or whining! I'm glad to have my boy back.
Kaylee was having more fun on the rocking toy than it looks like. She sometimes goes a bit blank for the camera.
I want to add more pictures of the area here and our new place, but I've just been really busy (of course, caring for a sick toddler) so I haven't taken any other pictures. I do want to say though, that it is absolutely gorgeous here! Every street is lined with trees, it's clean and well-kept, and our "backyard" at the apartment here is the mountains. Okay, so compared to Utah it's really just big hills, but it's a beautiful view. The other side of the complex faces down, over the city. Overall, we love it here so far!
