It is warm and wet! The sun shines in between the rain and it's always a bit sticky. Some people would hate it and even Chris was surprised by my comments today. I love this weather. I don't mind being sticky if everyone is sticky and honestly, the chance to have soft skin, no sore throats, and no cracked lips is wonderful.
As much as I loved the Northwest, I hated how dry it was. The air here is moist and, right now, relatively cool, with a strong breeze to move the air along. It feels so good and often reminds me simultaneously of San Antonio, TX where I spent a lot of time when I was younger with my grandparents and Santo Domingo, DR where I spent my mission in 2000-1. This type of weather always brings back a lot of memories and now I'm making new ones.
I'm sitting in my kitchen at my table watching my two very cute kids play outside. They are hauling little cups of water from one side of the yard to the other where resides a nice deep dirt pit. The only problem is that JC gets excited and the water never makes it to the mud spot they're trying to create. So Evie has some "sticky mud" and JC has decided mud is overrated, but the water tastes good. It's so fun to watch them and to see how they play. The most random things become entertaining. Just like Lizzy laying in a crib staring at a crab for hours is surprising, watching what a barely-on sprinkler and some Tupperware can do is so much fun.

I used to love doing things like that when I was a kid the best time I ever had growing up was running through a sprinkler. I'm glad you are all settling in and making memories together as a family.
WOW lots of updates. I am glad you guys have a blog and can keep in touch. To answer Chris' questions, it is Heidi who got the job (Jared is going to school), we are juggling child care between the two of us.
