I haven't done a post in a while because our camera broke (Scott may have dropped it at his brother, Stephen's, wedding). I was hoping we could get it fixed or at least get a new one, but we have been in the car for most of the last few months so it just hasn't happened. First, we went to Utah for the wedding, then Scott dropped me and the kids off in Idaho, and he continued on to Oregon. He did a week rotation here at the derm clinic. I flew out to meet him and we looked at houses. Next, we drove to Missouri for his graduation. It was a bummer not to have a camera there, but I had my phone and it does a decent job. These are some pictures from the big day. He has worked hard for this day, and I am really proud of him. I can't believe four years has passed so fast. We sure are going to miss our Michigan friends!
Then we made it back to Michigan and stayed for about a month. While we were there we tried to have some fun doing things that we hadn't been able to do yet. We went to Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum a couple of times...
Went to a Tigers game...
Caden misses his best friend so much. He asks to call him just about every day and is sure we are going to Las Vegas any day now to visit.
Caden graduated from Kindergarten. We had him in a Montessori school and he did awesome. He is going to be repeating Kindergarten because of his late birthday. Scott and I have decided that we would much rather him be the oldest rather than the youngest, especially as a boy. He loves school and was really excited to get signed up here.
They did a fun cake with face cupcakes...
Caden learned how to ride his bike without training wheels. It was a lot of fun to go on family bike rides. Once he got it he took off...
Kali has grown up a lot. I can't believe what a little girl she is. She is definitely not a baby anymore and she knows it. She always tells me babies are zero and one year olds and she is two.
Of course, we spent A LOT of time packing. I have officially decided we have too much stuff. We made it across country a second time around and we are now in Oregon. The kids are adjusting nicely, and we are getting to know the area. We live right across the street from a subdivision park. The kids think it is the best thing ever. When we first got here they were a little sneaky and decided to go on their own a couple of times (not cool). We like our house and feel like we have a lot of extra room. It would be nice not to have to move too far if at all next year, but who knows!
Scott's first block is ER and he got a sweet schedule. He has every weekend off in 3 or 4 day blocks. I better enjoy that while I can. This weekend we decided to go to the coast. We are only about an hour away, but it took us a little longer to get there because Caden got carsick. Poor kid gets carsick all of the time and has since he was about 18 months old. I cannot count the number of times he has barfed in the car. It definitely wasn't warm weather, but it was a fun adventure. And since I eat fish now (in limited varieties) it was the perfect time to have a meal on the water.
