Catching Up

Our poor blog has been neglected the past few months, but for good reason -- we've been rather busy!  Most importantly, I graduated nursing school and we moved to Oakland, California.  Jordan moved down in early July and the girls and I followed a week ago.  So the summer was long and stressful, but it's all over now!  Here are pictures and updates from our summer.

My graduation ceremony was in June, though I had one more term of school after that:

We celebrated the Fourth of July as a family right before Jordan left for California:

Clara had her dance recital:

Evie played soccer for the first time:

We celebrated Evie's third birthday with a trip to Oaks Park:
