In Review

We made it to the West just fine and were greeted by a pleasant dinner date in Logandale with Chris's fam, Dustin's fam, Matt's fam, and Gma Gpa Whit. What a fun evening that was.

I started the summer working for Southern Nevada Legal Aid because I didn't get any offers from all the resumes I sent out. But after my first day of work there, I got a call back from one of my resumes that I really wanted, and he offered me a job for the summer. I took it and have been with him for a few weeks. Its mo money, fun folks, and Spanish. What else could an up and coming lawyer ask for? ;)

A couple weeks before we left VA, our white car was making a whine and shifting hard. We had a little fix in VA, then the whining and check engine light came on again somewhere around Kentucky. Then in LV, felt like we missed 2nd gear. So the dealer shop told us they would look at it. They returned it saying there was nothing wrong with it. So we said, "Okay, can we trade it in for a new car then?" So they took it off our hands and gave us more for it than we had prepared for from looking at blue book and other dealers. So we have a different car now.

KGW is 17 weeks prego, had an appt today, all is bueno, and in 4 more weeks she will get the ultra sound to tell what is in there. So far I am the only one with the weird cravings. And Jackson. And Sydney.

We went to Disneyland right away when we got to the West. The kids loved it. It wasn't too hot outside, and we rode all the rides without waiting in line. It was nice. We found out Macaroni Grill in So Cal is cheaper than the IHOP across the street from Disneyland, and IHOP even said kids eat free!

For the whole time we've been in Virginia, neither child has been sick for longer than a day. They'll get a fever, runny nose, whatever, but the next day they are just fine. But since we have gotten to the West, they have taken turns being very sick. Finally it seems like they are both over their ear infections, flu symptoms, amoxicillin rash, stuffy nose, runny nose, general whininess, etc.

The missionaries in VA told us they would miss us because they would transfer away before we came back. So I told them they could be cool and say peace instead of goodbye, but they were missionaries so they would have to disguise it in a churchly sounding saying. So they decided on "Peace be unto you."

We want to go to the beach but can't find a good excuse...oh wait, the Whitney reunion! Funners!

Sydney got a new doll from Gma Gifford. She named it Emileah. Sydney said that one day she would have a baby in her uterus, and when it's born, she would teach it about Jesus.

Jackson said he had a dream about spiders. They would crawl all over him, and their legs tickled him so bad that he woke up laughing.

Peace be unto ya'll,
