Four months

It's been four months since my sweet sister Angela passed away. I love her and miss her.

Cooper's Rock

To celebrate Jason's last Saturday before classes started, we went to Cooper's Rock State Forest. We went with a couple families from our ward, and Clara enjoyed playing with the two little boys. The forest was beautiful and will be spectacular in the autumn. The kids tried to fish for a little while, we had a picnic lunch and then went to Cooper's Rock. It's a gigantic rock/boulder that overlooks the valley.

Cupcakes

Sarah and Clara made cupcakes for Grandpa's birthday, which we frosted to look like flowers. We had the party at the pool and sang happy birthday while the thunder clouds rolled in above us. Luckily we got home before the storm broke.

Transplants

We made the big move to West Virginia last week and have had a busy week. Jason's orientation started today and his first day of class starts next week. We have gotten mostly unpacked and somewhat organized. Clara is more than happy to see her toys again and keeps exclaiming, "I've never seen THAT toy/book before!" Our ward seems like a BYU ward, with lots of transitional, college/dental/medical school-aged families in it. I think we'll like it here!
