Hello everyone!

Sorry we've been away for a while - much is going on. Wimbledon was great, but coming home to my girls was incredible. I love traveling, but I missed my girls even more than I thought I would - and I knew I would an incredible amount. Thank God for video calls. Nana was wonderful and came up to spend some time with them, and one of the fun things in the wake of that visit was Karis's use of "uh-oh". At first, she was still trying it out.... it went something like this: "uh-uh-uh-uh-ohhhhhh, uh-eh-eeh-ohhhh, uh-uh-oh-oh, oh-oh-uh-uh". When she finally solidified the sound, she still lacked meaning (thanks Kristy for taking the video while I was gone!):

She seems to be pretty solid on it now - something falls, "uh-oh". It's hilarious sometimes her "uh-oh" view on life interjects itself into Leah's and my conversations.

And THEN, after I'm back from there and we go to the beach, Rowan decides to come early! Welcome to the world, Rowan! I can't wait to see you and Karis grow as friends.

From reading the backlog of comments, seems I should let everyone know: yes, we are moving... provided our house sells. :-) Anyone interested? It's just amazing how much room a small little girl can take up. It seems to be a prime time to move to a nearby city (sorry to be so vague - I'm just maintaining a bit of internet privacy) - a pretty even trade of our house value for one with LOTS of more room. I'm working from home now, so location is just about irrelevant except in terms of our church, and the new house is just about equidistant from there.

As always - more to come! Ain't it fun?
