Long time, no bump

I know that Melissa and I have been slacking off on this blog since we moved, but we've been pretty busy. So busy, in fact, that we haven't taken a picture of Melissa's bump in over six weeks! Here is what she and Peanut currently look like:

In other pregnancy-related news, I am happy to report that Melissa successfully passed her 3-hour glucose test! I wish that she hadn't had to take this awful test in the first place, but at least now we know that her blood-sugar levels are normal. Let's celebrate with cupcakes or fro-yo or some other sweet delicacy!

It's Been Too Long!

So it has been a long time since I have updated our blog, and a lot of things have happened in those short weeks. So I thought that I would update just a few things, but in this post--THE MOVE!

We had a lot of great help getting our truck packed up on Friday July 29. Thank you Matt, Phil, and Jesse for coming to help! My mom and dad, Lynsey, and her new fiancé Darrel also came to do the heavy lifting while I watched Duncan, directed traffic, and picked up lunch. Things got packed really quickly, and we had the afternoon to explore Ann Arbor one last time and allow Ryan to play his last softball game. That evening there was even time to play some Dominion Prosperity!

After a night of sleep on air mattresses, we packed up the last of our things and headed out to Bourbonnais. Here are a few pictures before we took off.
