Wahoo!!

It's official!  We are moving to York, PA for the next 5 years!!  As of Monday, it is official that we will be going to York for Jeff to do his general surgery residency.

It is so exciting to have a path and be able to actually start planning things!  We move in May, Jeff graduates in June (in Arizona), and we start residency in June!  So exciting!

We went to York the week after Haley was born for Jeff's interview.  I typically don't travel with newborns, but as this was Jeff's top choice for residency, it wasn't an interview I was willing to miss!  While we were there we had dinner at the Chief Resident's house, did some sight seeing (which was a blast).  We love the hospital and the people there.  The residents have such a family feeling.  They are all friends and work together so well.

We are so grateful and blessed to be going to York!  It will bring some fun and new experiences for us.  Here are some random notes about the length of residency:
*Alexia will start Kindergarten just after we move there
*She will have just finished 4th grade by the time we move (she will be 10!!)
*Ryan will be old enough to start preschool when we move there
*He will be in 2nd grade by the time we move (8 years old!)
*Our first two kids will be baptized while we live in PA
*Haley will be old enough to start Kindergarten when we finish residency

Funny note:
Alexia was born in Idaho
Ryan was born in Arizona (during Jeff's first year of medical school)
Haley was born in Ohio
Our 4th should be born in Pennsylvania (no, it is not an announcement, but we do plan to have another one sometime in the next 5 years!)
So our kids will all have been born in different states!!  Interesting, eh?

Random Pics

Haley is 2 months old now!  It is almost hard to believe!  She is so much fun.  She loves to smile and "talk."
 
Alexia and Ryan still adore her (which I am very grateful for)!
(Don't you just love morning pictures!  Haha)

Alexia loves holding Haley.  She will be such a cute mom someday!!

Haley's Baby Blessing

Well, I am a bit late, but that is not to surprising as I have been bad at keeping up on my blog lately.  But here are some pictures from Haley's baby blessing.  We did it on January 2nd (at one month old).  I adore her blessing dress!  It is so beautiful!
