Columbus

 Thank you for being patient as we relocated to Columbus, Ohio.  We have been here 3 weeks and really like it.  The weather has been great, the neighborhood is wonderful, and the people we have met have been really nice.  We couldn't be luckier.  Of course we miss all of our friends in San Diego every day - but have been staying in touch via the phone, email, etc.  We will plan a visit back soon!  Enjoy some pics over the past 3 weeks! 

Yogi was nice enough to volunteer to drive cross-country with Kevin.  They had a great time and we couldn't have made the move without his help.  Thanks Yogi!
 My last weekend in San Diego.  Saying goodbye to Michael
 Us girls went out for a night on the town.....
 It was nothing short of "epic".  I'll never forget Trash Hat!
 Auntie Sally and Quinn
 Clean Quinn and Auntie Mandy
 Nice hair!

 Hayden at the airport
 Quinn and my mom at the airport.  I would not have survived the flight without mom.  We flew Hayden, Quinn and Guido!
 Mom and dad took the girls our first week so that we could unpack.  I was so proud of how I organized their playroom.  It lasted 5 seconds!
 Quinn's room had some nasty carpet, so we ripped that up.  The entire house is hardwood (except for tiled bathrooms)
 Our bedroom.  The house is full of arches.  We love the character it has. 
 Kevin's Honda Accord (from 1994) did not make the treck, so he bought a Kia Sorrento.  He loves it
 Our first weekend, Clay, Lisa, Mitch, Will and Grace came down and we put them to work.  We got the living room and dining room painted, as well as organized the closets in the basements.  They were a huge help!

 Hayden started preschool.  She is not a morning person and therefor was not thrilled about getting up for preschool
 Hayden eating a poptart before her first day of school!
 Armed with Tiger, and Tinkerbell backpack and lunch box - she is as ready as ever.  She is actually 3 weeks in now and seems to really love it!  She sings songs that she learns at the house.  It is really cute.
 Last weekend we went to my hometown (Kalida) for their annual festival (Pioneer).  Hayden had a blast. She rode every ride that she was tall enough for.
 We also celebrated Carli's birthday.  Quinn turned 1 this past weekend.  Stay tuned for pictures, her party is going to be October 14th.
