New at Home Adventure

We are home from traveling for a bit and are enjoying our new adventure of having Julie, Jaab, Ty and Maddie as our new roommates! Julie and her family joined ours a week ago as Jaab obtained work here in Logan and they will be rooming with us until they are able to sell their home in Saratoga Springs.

We REALLY enjoy having them here. You have probably heard me complain that I have a hard time keeping up with everything around here - so it is nice to have two extra set of adult hands to help and two extra sets of kiddie hands to love and play with.

It has been so nice to see everyone working together on this new living arrangement. We come home from work and Julie usually has something cooking for dinner! We are able to help watch the kids so Julie and Jaab can get away a little bit. Lauren is sharing cleaning chores and she is the favorite Auntie around here. The kids always want her around and she can get more smiles out of Maddie than anyone. Julie and Lauren share clothes and shoes. And even Tillis (the dog) enjoys having some little ones down at his level.

Here are some pictures of us getting acquainted the first few days
