Summer what?

So, my mom and dad came home from their mission on July 2nd....

Lucy looks surprised at how strong she is...

Henry meeting Nanna. He was skeptical for about 30 seconds, and then fell in love.

Andrew and Monk greeting Nanna and Papa. Nanna was the original Monk giver. 

It was really just kind of chaos, but it has been delightful having them home.

And then I guess nothing else happened this summer, because I stopped taking pictures. Instagram is just so much easier...We actually did move from Folsom, CA to Centerville, UT. That was weird. But now we live here. We're still settling into the idea of living in Utah again, and there's a small part of our hearts that wants to be back in Folsom with the amazing running trails, having Mark and Jenny and the girls close, and the beach available for a day trip. Plus, there's a part of our hearts that would rather be in Texas with all the wonderful friends we had there (and the humidity...it's true, we love it). But, we know there is always something great wherever we live, and we have loved every single place we've lived for different reasons. We are definitely basking in being close to grandparents and the Utah cousins. 

 Since the day we moved into our new place, I've basically been on the couch with a little stomach bug that is growing into a bigger stomach bug and will likely become a very big stomach bug that will show his or her face in March. It's true, we have finally overcome our fear of the newborn stage (or forgotten it enough to commit to it again) and are expecting baby number 3 in the early spring.

If you're thinking, "Wow, that's a big belly for 14 weeks," feel free to keep that comment to yourself. I can't explain.

And the last of what is becoming a seasonal post (4 posts a year, can I do it?), our awesome back to school pictures. Both boys started at their respective preschools today. I went to Target. It was so fun. I love the boys being in school. They are both so smart and love to learn. This will be a great chance for them. Andrew has already learned the rules (he was extremely concerned that he not get on the bad list the first day like last year) and Henry only remembers that he played with cars and found two dead bugs outside. I call that success.

Brother love. These two...

Not sure what the feelings were at this point.

Henry suddenly got skeptical, then sad when we dropped Andrew off, and then happy as soon as we got to his school.
