Anderson's in Portland

As you may remember some of my best friends just had their first baby. Baby Parker is now 6 weeks old and doing very well. It is a weird feeling not being the responsible one all the time. Kinda nice actually then you can try and help others. He is absolutely adorable! I had great food and great company. We had a great visit and I miss them already.

Someone should tell him that he isn't the center of the universe.

Introducing

Grandpa & Grandma "puff"



Whose laugh is more contagious? Carrie or Caleb?

For those of you who are wondering...

how things are going so far here in Fresno.
Caleb is adjusting, sometimes we have nap issues but for the most part he is doing well. He loves hanging out with his family all the time but misses his friends still.
I am doing well. When Caleb is sleeping I am really busy working either for Nick, or working on my online class. Besides of course the obvious house fun. But when Caleb is awake we can get bored easily we are still trying to make some friends.
Jared is REALLY busy. Working full time from home and going to school two nights a week and homework, he has a full schedule.

Haircuts Needed

Unfortunately the lovely lady who we planned to cut our hair while in Fresno is now in a little town in Arizona. We badly need family haircuts:

YUMMY

We live really close to a drive thru startbucks!! I think it is quite an accomplishment that we have only been there once so far this week.

Move to Fresno

Thanks to so many of our dear friends and family we made it.
Friday morning we were thankful to have Rachael watch Caleb while Christina, Randy, Uncle Bill, Jared and I loaded up the moving truck. It was amazing how fast we went.
While I left to get Mr. Caleb and some lunch they were finishing up squeezing our last items in the truck. Then Jared realized that we still had our garage to empty! Ouch. Thankfully we were able to secure Mike's dad's truck to fit the rest. Caleb LOVED the moving truck:
Saturday came and we thought it would be easy. Finishing packing the rest and say our goodbyes to our next door neighbor. We woke up and got some great breakfast burritos from Nicks (Main St. in Seal Beach). There were six of us: Mike, Dani, the McAvoys, and Jared and I and somehow it still was next to impossible to leave by noon! Of course the flat tire on the truck didn't help either. Five vehicles start down the path to the Valley. Here is a pick of Caleb sleeping on the way here.
It was a long day. Thankfully we had a lot of help here in Fresno to unpack as well. After an early dinner we all started unloading and a couple hours later some of us were a little tired.
Well we still have lots of things to figure out here and once we get things in a spot I will give you a tour of our new place. Until then!
P.S. A BIG THANK YOU to all of you who helped, could not have done it without you!

Beginning of the end...

The long awaited days of packing are here. Many of you know that I have wanted to move out of this apartment a couple weeks after I got here. I thought I would practically be whistling a tune but really I am just peaceful; content to have made it thus far in this place and hopeful for what is next.
Anyway, thanks to Christina and our life group and others we are almost there:

Meet Parker Anderson
