snuggles with fam!!!

(first time for c and b to meet him.  

and b's middle name is after him!)

snugs with the swanies!

the haile side of the fam...

i can't believe it's been three weeks.  and i can't believe it's been only three weeks!  it's been a wonderful three weeks.  our stuff comes tuesday!  23 days in our house without our stuff...  a little longer than i anticipated.  (but exactly as long as they promised.  i just had high hopes!)  it's been good, but it will be nice to have our stuff.  although, after living without for so long, i might be getting rid of a ton of stuff!!

it's also been so nice to be so close to family.  and i have loved getting involved and being in a place we have lived before.  we have friends still here, friends who have since moved here and made fast, new friends.  it really does feel like "home".  

i am homesick for the things we had in hawaii.  mostly free beaches!!!  but, it really has been so great being here.  and.... we had family visit this weekend!  we doubled the amount of people in our house. with no stuff. it's like "glamping".  you know, camping, glamorous style!  with showers and ac... but still on air mattresses and all sharing a towel!
