An update (finally) from Arizona

Sorry for the long delay, but we've been keeping pretty busy during the break! Our standby flight from Des Moines to Phoenix went amazingly well for having two "lap children." We tried to be really prepared, and Jaina and Reilly both did amazingly well on the car trips and on the 3-hour flight. We have been enjoying the warmer weather, and seeing family and friends. I can't believe the first part of our trip is already over. I just talked to Jeremy, and his flight arrived in Des Moines. He's on his way home to start classes again tomorrow! He'll be back in Arizona in about a week and a half to attend our friend's wedding and then to fly back with us. I'll be hanging out with our families and trying to get some stuff done while we're here. Everything has been really nice and so very normal; and it seems weird to think we have another, very different life in Iowa... We blessed Jaina yesterday, which was really fun, and took some pictures that actually had all 4 of us in them. That hadn't happened until now. I've posted two of the better ones... Taking pictures with two babies is silly. It's hard enough to get them looking at the camera, much less smiling. Reilly is always grumpy by the time we try it... But we're doing well, and hope you are all doing great, too!

we miss you over here. It's still cold but looking like spring just may pop it's head out soon....at least I am hoping. I actually wore flip flops today, not b/c it was warm but b/c I just wanted to pretend it was. glad your having fun, bring back the sun with you..ok.

I can't believehow big Jaina is getting. She looks so different in just the few weeks you've been gone. very cute pictures. (all of them) I agree that you need to bring the sun back with you.
