4 Years Ago...

our family moved to Urbandale. Just this past week, I asked Andrew if it has seemed longer since we'd lived here and he thinks so. He has gone to school longer here in Johnston than he did in the GW area. The memories from GW/Malvern are fading for him. Which is sad b/c that is where he was born, first home, friends, left our family in the Omaha area. In these four years the kids have grown so much. Their network of friends has grown compared to where we lived before. Even though Phil and I weren't sure of our move at first, we don't look back. We moved so our kids would have more opportunity in a bigger school setting. The kids absolutely LOVE it here, we have wonderful neighbors, live on a quiet street with kids to play with, great jobs, and family near by, and little to travel for work.


2007-When we first moved here, Olivia was in 3rd grade, Andrew first and Clare just turned 3 years old.
2011-Andrew in 5th grade, Clare in 1st grade, Olivia in 7th, and Ruthie is 2 years old.
