Well, we are officially "home" and have made it back to Iowa! I can't really describe my feelings- excitement, relief, exhaustion and just overall happiness at the way things have worked out. We arrived here Monday night to a sparkling clean house and spruced up yard...thanks to amazing friends who prepared our place for our arrival. Walking into "our house" again was unbelievable.
Our last week in Texarkana was busy with lots of good-byes and excitement. The highlight was the graduation ceremony and seeing Tod receive his hard earned Masters Degree. I am so proud of him and proud of the work and commitment this represents. (Pictures will come shortly- I accidently packed the camera cord and we are still waiting for our stuff to arrive.) Our journey here was fun, and we were able to stop at the farm in Missouri for a few days. Being at the farm is always so great- the weather was beautiful and we got to see our beautiful new niece, Leah Marie (Megan and Jerimy's baby).
This week had been full of firsts- Tod's first day of work (no computer yet, but an office and learning his way around), Ashton's first day of 1st grade (lots of new friends and a teacher who is strict about handwriting), Jordan's first day of preschool (loves that they have lots of "art stuff" to do every day), and my first opportunity to take a deep breath and soak it all in! Regan is just enjoying having room to roam (the stairs are a favorite).
Stay tuned for pictures as soon as our stuff arrives- hopefully at the first of the week!

Oh, my goodness, Jamie! I just checked in on my blog, which I've let go unnoticed for months, and I saw your comment. I am so excited to hear from you - I lost contact and didn't know how to reconnect. You are such a favorite person of mine, and I still consider you a special part of my life, even though we haven't talked in years. Write me at my email: I'm at gmail, and my address is my first name (marci) and last (dorman), with a period between. Please write! I'd love to hear from you again.
P.S. Your girls are beautiful!
