Houston Exodus

 
So it's been a while since I blogged last, but in my defense we had a lot going on :).  I will try to play catch up now that we are in our house in New Jersey!  Our last few weeks in Texas we ate a giant Texas sized pizza from  Papa Murphy's.
 
The kids found Texas sized onions the size of their noggins at Krogers.
 
Tanner had his last preschool program ever.  Sniff.
 

 
My boys

 
The cutest baby ever

 
Seriously!
And Tanner lost his first tooth playing tug o war with their neighborhood friends.  The funny part was, he's been wanting to lose teeth since Lana lost her first tooth and when he realized he lost it, it scared him to death.  He was so worried that something had gone wrong in the process (of course nothing had...except we never found the tooth).
 

 Our PODS arrived :(


 We packed up our stuff and said goodbye to our friends the Hamm's and to the place we called home for the last year.  In some ways it was really hard to leave Texas.  We loved the neighborhood, school, neighbors, and the good friends we made.  But on the other hand, we were moving closer to family and going to an area where we could finally be together as a family.  Paul had pretty much been traveling for work since Porter was born (He's 10 months old by the way).  This has been a really hard year between the stressful pregnancy with Porter, having a newborn, Paul being gone and facing "the unknown" in many aspects.  However, we have been truly blessed on more than one occasion which is a confirmation of the right decisions that we've made.  That being said, I really hope to stay in New Jersey for a long time.  And by long time, I mean more than a year because when you move as much as we do, anything over a year is a long time.
