Getting closer

Our days left in Arizona are in the single digits, and Jeremy and his Dad actually left yesterday with the truck and 95% of our stuff.  All we have left are what I (and two preschoolers) can carry on the plane(s) on Monday. It's coming up fast, and I'm trying to be more excited about getting there and less nervous about all the traveling Monday.  :) I'm not worried about Reilly and Jaina so much, but Katy is really at the stage where she doesn't want to be contained in any way, and I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to get her to sleep without a crib or pack 'n play. It should be interesting to find out how it goes. :)

Here are some pictures from visiting at Grandma Cohn's the other night.  Check out how long Jaina's hair is here and you can appreciate the haircut (her first in 2 years) that appears in the bottom pictures.

This is my Grandma that Katy is named for. (Kathryn) All of my kids love her
and we're all going to miss her when we leave!


Can I not look even a little bit like my mom?

Pictures we took the other night while we were looking at the awesome sunset through the smoke of the fire over in San Carlos.  Katy's teething (again), and we get these kind of faces a lot and a lot of yelling when she doesn't immediately get what she wants.

Jaina's haircut is very cute! Along with Katy's faces she makes. I can't believe you guys are already leaving...sad but also exciting for you guys to finally settle down for a while.

I wish you the best on Monday as you fly to Virgina! I love all the of the pictures! You all are so beautiful! I love Jaina's haircut! I miss you! I was just thinking yesterday, how much fun Lily would have playing with Reilly and Jaina, and Katy too! Lily has changed so much since we moved to Colorado! She loves playing with other kids, and I would love to watch her play with your wonderful kids. You are a wonderful mother and an inspiration to me!
