It is Official

Well......we have a job!!!! It is official now. Nate signed the contract and we are heading to Springfield, Illinois. We are very excited. The office where Nate will be working seems like a perfect place for Nate. He is really excited about the opportunities there. We most certainly will miss COLUMBUS like crazy, but we are excited for what life has to offer us in our next stage of life.

The Blodgetts
We are so sad to leave so many friends here in Columbus. Here is a rather unorganized shot of the kids with our friends the Blodgetts. They will be moving in 2 days....very sad. We have had so much fun with them and will truly miss them.

This is Linz' friend Addy (or as she says it "Abby.") Addy is Linz' first real friend. It has been so cute to see Linz play with Addy and other kids. She always takes the role of the "older one" and treats Addy (and her other friends) like little kids, even though they are basically the same age. I just love seeing her personality developing and watching her learn to play with other kids. Unfortunately, Addy will be moving way too soon. Linz is so good with kids though, I'm sure she'll find some new friends!!!

LINDSEY

For those of you who don't know Lindsey, this picture pretty much describes her with no words. She loves to tease and can often be seen with this mischievous look. No real reason for posting this other than it was just so cute and totally shows her little personality; I had to post it.
