Yes, we are still alive. I know it has been over a year now since I have updated and there is no way I am catching up. So just a quick summary of our current life.
We just moved from Kansas city Missouri where John finished his pediatric dental residency, and moved to Arizona about 1 month ago. We hope to buy a house soon, and get settled while John begins his first real job!!
It was so sad to leave KC, we had made some great friends!
Here is Jude with some of his favorite buddies. He still talks about them like he is going to see them again soon. :(
My mother helped me out on the long drive across the country with the kids.
We were all so happy to have arrived in Arizona.
Having fun on the slip n slide. Just an update, Jude is 3 1/2.
Here is our little Princess, Olive who will be 2 in September.
So haply to be at Grandmas house! Trying on mommy's sunglasses.
Fourth of July was not quite the same as in riverside Mo, but the kids still had
plenty of fun with their fireworks.
2 days after 4th of July and shortly after our arrival in Arizona, John and I left the kids and headed out on a 2 week African safari vacation!! It is impossible to describe how amazing this vacation was. I did not know what to expect, but it far exceeded my expectations. The animals, the accommodations, the people and culture were all amazing. Truly a trip of a lifetime.
We were able to see so many animals up close and personal.
Yes, we even were lucky enough to view a lion mating session.
Our days were spent on safari,
we even spent a morning flying high above the plains on a hot air balloon.
John getting kissed by a giraffe.
We were welcomed with open arms by several villagers.
We were surprised by all we saw; elephants fighting,
and 2 lioness' just cruising right toward our vehicle.
In case you could not tell in the photos above, my belly is growing by the minute.
We will welcome a new baby boy December 3!!
