Odds & Ends

So I traded in my old Mitsubishi mirage on Thursday and got a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer. It is super nice. Leather seats, On-Star, the works. It is by far the nicest car I've ever owned and people can actually sit next to Caleb in the back without feeling crowded. And I have room for more than just the stroller in the trunk. --No pics yet, but i'll get them soon.

Other than that - life is pretty uneventful for us. We are getting Craig's dissertation finished up to defend in a week or so and then on to graduation and MOVING!!! That's right we moving to Bloomington, IL this summer. We are super excited. Craig will be an Assistant Professor at Illinois Wesleyan University in the Economics Department. We will be part of the Nauvoo temple district (which is super cool) and are only 2 hrs from Chicago, 2 1/2 from St. Louis, 3 from Indianapolis. So we have plenty to go visit.

And because I don't like doing posts without pictures... here are some pics of Caleb in his Grinch outfit Grandpa Broadbent gave him. It won't fit him by Christmas --- so here's what we can do for now.


And a short little video that was too funny! I was putting away St. Patrick's Day decorations and putting out Easter when Caleb found the chicken dance stuffed animal and Sherman went crazy!!!! It's funny.

I would have attacked that chicken too- so make sure Sherman didn't get into trouble for that one!

That is so funny. We have to do ours 5 times a day. Kaylee loves it.
