Well, we made it across country and through our first week here. God has blessed us in many ways during this adventure.

First, I woke up Monday morning with mastitis and a fever of 102 degrees 24 hours before time to move. Fortunately, our doc got me antibiotics quickly and I healed enough to feel good by the day we flew. The girls were both awesome on the flights. Amaris ate and slept the whole time so I got to sleep on both flights (the most day time sleep I'd had in weeks!) Kaley even fell asleep on the long flight for 2 hours, allowing Mimi the chance to read her book.

It's hot here! Most days have been 95 degrees or so. I stay inside most of the time but it is a lot to get used to. Mimi is always finding great outdoor water activities for Kaley and friends.

Amaris is already 4 weeks old! Wow! She is becoming more aware of her world and almost smiling as she interacts with our faces or herself in the mirror. I think Derek will be shocked at the change when he gets here next week. She weighed 9 lbs 3 oz on Saturday so she is growing at a nice steady rate, which puts this Mama at ease a bit.

Kaley loves holding her sister. She has a bit of a cold right now and can't understand why I won't let her kiss the baby

We enjoy our cuddle time!

Amaris got her first tub bath here. Hopefully she'll enjoy the next one more.

Kaley got invited to slip n slide with friends from church

It was so much fun that we bought one of our own!
