Visit from Paige’s parents

Just Life,

Several weeks ago, my mom and dad came for a quick visit on their way to Utah. It was great! Too short, but still so fun to see my parents and get to spend time with them. Here’s a big photo dump of a bunch of pictures my mom took (except for the one of my mom and Carson: I took that one, and I’m pretty proud because I don’t know how to use her or Josh’s fancy cameras at all and usually the pictures I take end up blurry). We tried to have a mini photo shoot with Carson, who more or less cooperated…sort of…

Mom and Dad, Josh and I loved seeing you and talking with you, and Carson loved playing with grandma and grandpa! Hope everyone enjoys the pictures.

Moving

Big Events, , , , ,

Here are just a few pictures from moving. Not a ton; we were pretty busy packing, loading, finding a house, and being a little stressed through all this. But it was fun, too. Not so fun that we want to move again anytime soon, but perhaps someday…

Carson’s moving week injury. Josh and I were busy packing and not watching as he tried to pull himself up to stand next to an empty bookcase. One of the shelves came down and hit his face. :( Poor guy.

All our stuff…remembering back, now, it was kind of a fun adventurous week, with all of our stuff in a big pile, lots of boxes, eating Brick Oven pizza on the floor of our living room after we loaded the truck…good times. One of the best parts was spending so much time together as a family (and couple) as we worked.

Turns out moving week is pretty fun for kids (at least Carson). Who doesn’t love all those boxes?

This is the morning before we left, the morning we loaded the trailer.

…and this is how we kept Carson occupied while we loaded the trailer. Snacks are just wonderful sometimes, aren’t they?

The week before we left, we got to visit Josh’s grandparents one last time. It was so great to see them; we miss you Grandma and Grandpa!

For Carson, moving in week was maybe even more fun than moving out. Empty boxes are the best!

It was hard on Carson a little bit too, of course. (Hard on all of us.) I think he did go through some anxiety in getting used to a new place, getting over the long drive (that was hard on him), and seeing lots of new people. But now that we’ve been here almost three months (wow, time flies!) we’re all settling in so well and really liking it more and more here. More posts on our new life in Colorado to follow!
