Well, we survived the move. After about 6 weeks here in the US, I'd have to say it all feels more like a strange vacation rather than a relocation. We're still with my parents while we search for a house - which means lots of extra help babysitting and someone to share cooking and other household necessities with. I kind of love it, and in some ways think I could co-habitate for quite some time! Lucia has had one intense ear infection that necessitated 2 trips to urgent care and sprouted two new teeth since we arrived. Like her brother, her eye teeth came in before he middle teeth so we have another vampire baby.
We've taken advantage of the virtual nature of my job, and the non-existent nature of Mario's to spend some time visiting Mario's brother and his family in Utah. It was a fantastic visit where we visited Hogle Zoo.
Went rafting in Lava Hot Springs and got seriously mauled by the river.
Visited with my wonderful friend Marianne and her family at the Gateway, where Gabe wasn't too sure about the water fountain.
Went to to the super fun South Bountiful recreation center where I got to visit with my BFF Jessica while our kids played in the water. (I'm terrible and don't have a picture of either of them)
We also enjoyed the beautiful outdoors and hiked Ensign Peak
as well as hiked to Timpanogos Caves.
It's a 3 mile hike and Gabe walked the whole thing! I was so pround of him.
Don't worry, without the stellar example of his cousins the following week he couldn't even walk through the mall for 20 minutes.
Now we're back to the heat, spending all day in the pool and looking for houses. But the quasi vacation life isn't so bad...
