Our kids at a wedding reception. Jared with his new buddy, Oscar, who is his second cousin. Ayda with Kaitlyn, who is her cousin and is only three months younger. Although she's taller than Ayda! 

I was going to post some pictures of the house so far, but I realized that I haven't yet downloaded the newest ones, so there is no point right now. You can check out facebook if you want to see some. Our exterior walls should now all be up - they were about half way done the exterior of the second floor this morning. So exciting!!! 

And we've had quite the week. I got a cold at the beginning, and then both Ryan and I were sick with the flu on Tuesday, and even though we were both back on our feet the next day, they were slow moving feet with queasy tummies and aching bodies. Then my cold, after being put on the back burner during the flu, decided to come back with a vengeance, so I now have a lovely cough and a man's voice. Nice.

Oh, and we are back in the city now until the house is finished. As much as living with Dad was totally fine and we are so thankful for him, it's nice to have our own space again. Hopefully the kids will adjust to this move quickly...
