Lazy, Hazy Days

Well, I’ve decided to join the 21st Century and am trying to get my blog looking a little better. So, here’s my first attempt at adding video! This is from a couple of weeks ago, when Avey was just starting to crawl. Now, she’s fast as lightning, of course.

We were invited over to dinner tonight with a family in the ward I used to home teach. The meal was amazing and their kids kept us all entertained. We sure are going to miss the friends we’ve made here.
