Spring

Don't we all just love spring! After being inside with a newborn all winter I must say I'm really ready for spring! Hopefully we'll get to enjoy it for a little while before we jump into a Texas summer!

Here are some spring photos. Not exactly the best place to build a birds nest! When Lane opened the grill lid to cook this is what he found. We feel bad moving it, but I really don't think it's going to work out.
Our tulips are back for another season! Yeah! My gardening skills at their best!








Lane was lucky and got to "work" Monday on the golf course up in Pittsburgh. They golfed at this really nice course called Oakmont where I guess they hold the US open quite often. The boy has it pretty rough.

She's discovered ducks...

Thanks to the amazing spring weather, we've been having so much fun meeting with dad for lunches!! Danelle loves going to the duck pond by Lane's work and watching all the ducks hang around us.











Friday night Lane was able to baptize a new convert Pete, who will be in his Young Mens group. Saturday we had a campfire-since i'm the YW's Camp Director- and then got to BBQ and hot tub afterwards. It feels like we're trying to make up for lost time outside these past few days! I think Danelle is slowly adjusting to life outside of the house too!

An Enchanted Evening & The Appalachian Trail

This weekend Lane took me to our Stake's Adult Dance and since we couldn't find a sitter for Danelle she got to come too! The next morning Lane got up and went on a hike with the scouts covering several miles of the Appalachian Trail! Oh and another weekend highlight was when Danelle slept 9 hours on Friday night! Her longest yet! (normally she still gets up for a 3 am feeding....) Wish us luck!

Don't mess with Texas...

WE'RE MOVING! Lane got a promotion (he works for a company called Schreiber) and so in his new position he'll be covering the clients in the South West states like Texas, Arizona, Utah, Colorado...etc.

So...we pretty much get to pick where we want to live- how cool is that -since he'll be working from home and then traveling to those places every so often. We're pretty sure we're going to do Texas for it being central to where most of his business will be (so less traveling) , the cost of living is very good and frankly we both thought it would be fun to live in Texas for awhile! We're both not sure how long we'll be there, i'm sure a couple of years is all though- unless we really love it and decide to stay :) . I'm sure many of you are thinking it's a bit odd that we didn't choose Colorado (or Utah) since we've always been talking about moving there but we figure we still have plenty of time to get to Colorado and for now Texas is a better fit!

As for when we will be moving we will find out later this week. It sounds like we'll take a house hunting trip the first of May and then pretty much whenever we're ready we can move! Danelle seems a little nervous about Texas in this picture...
Here we are celebrating at TGI Fridays. Danelle has been so good when we take her out places, it really makes it so much easier to go out more often! We even brought her little chair with us! She loves to feel a part of the action!We of course have loved living out here on the East Coast, and especially living in this part of Pennsylvania! It has been so amazing to get to visit several times cities like D.C. NYC, Philly, Pittsburgh, Baltimore just to name a few! And we've made so many wonderful friends that we will miss dearly! 2 years has gone by fast! I'll keep you posted on all the updates of the move!

Texas vs. Colorado

So, if you could choose between living anywhere in Colorado or Texas, which state (or city) would you choose? *Vote on the poll to the right... & don't worry, it's anonymous :)
