I Know it's Been Forever!!!

Ok, I know it's been forever since I have updated our page, but in my defense, things have been pretty hectic lately! (Not naming any names or anything, but you curly haired blonde in South Dakota should be happy now :) As you know by now, Shane accepted the position at OSU in early March, and we couldn't be happier about moving back home. Being closer to our family has always been our goal, and we're so happy Parker will get to see his grandparents and aunts and uncles much more often now. Here is a picture of Parker and Shane the day we found out Shane had gotten the job.

Also, as you all know, we found out in February that Parker is going to have a little brother or sister in October. We have also been extremely excited about our upcoming arrival; although, I haven't felt the greatest over the past several months. Shane has had to pick up the slack around the house and with Parker, and he has been a great husband and dad! We feel like God has answered so many prayers, and we are so thankful for everything he has blessed us with.

We also had a visit from our friends in Columbia in March. Drew, Heather, and Olivia are planning on moving to Lexington in June, just as we're leaving :( We wish we could have been here at the same time, but it's been nice having them out here a few times as they have looked for housing. Here is a pic of Parker and Olivia together. They are so cute!!






We made a trip to Oklahoma over Easter which was fun but very tiring...I'm still trying to recover from it! We spent Easter in Hollis and Parker got to color Easter eggs with Grandma Judy...he had so much fun! He also went on an Easter egg hunt at Great Grandma Sue's house and was so excited to find all of the eggs.






On our way back to Cushing we met up with some of our friends who live in the OKC area and ate dinner. It was so much fun seeing everyone and knowing that we will be getting to spend more time with them and their kids. The kids had a great time playing with each other, althought the girls outnumbered the boys!




Over all, it has been extremely busy for us, and it doesn't look like it will be slowing down anytime soon! We are planning another trip back to Oklahoma in May to look for housing. We are praying that we will be able to sell our house soon! I hope all of you are doing well! :)
