update....








All of us had a great time up in Wisconsin. The babies miss being outside so much, but it's just too hot here to be out all day long. They are now adjusted to Albuquerque time again after a few early mornings, we are all back on schedule. Here are a few pictures from the trip. I didn't get any good pictures of Hannah since she spent most of her time over at Aunt Katie's house.
We bought the GoGoKidz Travelmates to hook onto the backs of their carseats so that we could just wheel them through the airport (eliminating the need for a double stroller) and then we gate checked them as we boarded since Amber and Ethan were on our laps for the flight. We needed the carseats since we rented a car and had to drive a few hours to Grandma and Grandpa's. This was the last time they'd be lap babies- they are just too wild and want to get into everything! Amber grabbed a handful of a nice man's white hair as he was asleep in front of us. Luckily, he didn't wake up. They don't have to have their own seats until after they are 2 years old, but we are definitely starting sooner. Besides next time we fly out there we'll have another lap baby.

We closed on the new house yesterday and got our keys! We are beginning to gather boxes this weekend and are just waiting for the house to be painted. We'll probably be moving the weekend of August 8th.

heading up to Wisconsin

We are all excited to get up north and see Grandma and Grandpa Foreman and the rest of the family! Thursday morning we fly nonstop to Minneapolis then will drive 4 hours to get there. I'm way more worried about the drive than the flight- Amber and Ethan are not fond of long car rides. We have Baby Einstein dvds and lots of snacks to help make it easier. I'll post some pictures soon. Love,
Gina

we found a house!


We found a 4 bedroom house in a nearby neighborhood that we really like. Closing is set for the 29th of July. Instead of selling our current home we are renting to some friends of ours, which is a great deal for us since the market isn't so great for selling right now! Here is a picture of the new house- it's 7305 Junco Place, weird name, huh? I noticed some bird names on nearby streets and so I googled Junco and it turns out it is also a bird. Here is a picture of a Junco.
