To Virginia!

So we started our journey west and we have finally arrived! We stared in California and ended in Virginia. We are all so glad to be done with long driving days! We love our new place. It is a very nice upgrade. (Pictures to come when the house is clean.) We have been working on unpacking and getting settled so we feel quite at home.

We have been so welcomed by the neighbors and by our ward. In the week and a half that we've have been here I have already been to two separate play groups, we've been invited to dinner two times and have had four visits from people in the neighborhood or in the ward who were just stopping by to welcome us here. We also have more dinner invitations for this coming week. We are living with such nice people. That has been an answer to prayers.

Here are some pictures of our trip out here. This is a picture of the place we stayed in Nauvoo.

Here is the truck that brought our stuff to us!!
James decided that the perfect time to start getting teeth was as we were traveling! He went from no teeth to six teeth in about three weeks--poor kid. He sure has a cute smile though. :)


We haven't been able to stop James from crawling everywhere...this is kind of a boring video, but you can see how good he has become at crawling.

Now that James can exercise more maybe he will lose a couple of his rolls. BTW that video was awesome... especially when James hits his head on the piano bench. :)
