Welcome to Texas

     Here's a pic of our new house. The homes all around us look exactly like this but in different colors. We really like it, our neighbors and the area. We can't wait to get totally settled in! So I still haven't figured out why they say "Everything is Bigger in Texas," but I have learned a few things while being here for the first week. I prefer the dry heat, the zoning is bad but it makes for very close stores to us, the people are incredibly friendly and it is way more diverse here than Utah. It is so fun to be somewhere new. I'm glad we had the opportunity to move away from Utah, but I am looking forward to the day we can be in AZ with our fam!

  Kyle turned seven months last week. He got a new car seat and a new high chair. Lucky boy. He was growing out of his old seat and we got his new one for a great deal at Babies R Us. The salesman even threw in 10% off (once again, so nice!). Kyle looks more comfortable in it and doesn't cry as much. We love the recline feature.    (Yes he is eating paper again...) He has also learned to sit up and play all by himself. This is Kyle's serious face. He is getting his second tooth so I am seeing this face a little more frequently.     At seven months he still loves his jumperoo, laughs at things on his own, sits up, loves to drink water out of a cup, still doesn't like baby food and loves to see other babies. His new friend is his cousin Sadie. I am so happy he gets to play with a cousin for a year!     I think the only way they look alike is in their thighs! Things are going really well. We just finished painting downstairs so I will take a pic when everything is moved back. Picking paint colors is the hardest thing! Also we went to church today and our ward is incredible. I never felt more welcomed into a new ward. There are a lot of couples in the same situation as us (husband in school, mom with kid) so I look forward to making new friends! Happy Sunday!
