Starting A New Life in Ohio

Ok folks here are finally some new pics of our life here in kickin' Ohio!
Here's Morgan catching a few zzz's on the journey to our new homeland.
Cody looking excited to finally be on our way.
Here we are so happy to have our couch and toys back. Pregnant women need comfy couches!

So here you go everyone, our sweet new ride! A 2009 Honda Odyssey EX-L complete with dvd player. Yep that's right we're riding in style and loving every minute of it!



Here's Morgan trying out our new car for himself. He still likes to pretend driving it at least once a day. We'll see how quickly this wears off.
Here are some shots of Cody's new work environment. So far we couldn't be happier to be a part of the Smucker's family. They rock!Smucker's corporate offices and Cody's new building. Apperently the cafateria has some super yummy and cheap food!

Saturday Cody's brother Khan and his family came up from the Cincinatti area to spend some of the weekend with us. They stayed at a fun hotel with a little indoor water park. We all enjoyed the water, especially Morgan who woke up Sunday morning asking for the pool. After we went to dinner at a little dutch Cracker Barrell type place. Surprisingly Morgan did well despite the fact it was past his bedtime.

His smile is so big he has to shut his eyes to make room!

My beautiful boys!
Saturday morning before we headed to the hotel/water park we took Cody's mom to the Smucker's store that is down the road from the main headquarters. They renovated this barn and turned it into a store and cafe. It is truly worth the trip and had lots of yummy food!
We are so grateful Cody's wonderful mom flew out to NYC to help us with our big move and transition to Ohio. Morgan and I took her to the airport and said good-bye today. We were both very sad to see her go. "Gam" we truly could not have done this without you and miss you terribly already! Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything! (We're only letting you go because it seems Dad and Kuzi need you more!)

Such a beautifully decorated store!

Don't look to close, I have no makeup on, my hair is a mess and I seem to have some sort of scowl on my face. But you get the picture...we're happy to be here as a family!

Last week, funny enough Cody had to go back to NYC after two days of working for a Jif peanut butter event on Friday(sorry NYC buddies, Cody was busy from morning till night so he didn't have a chance to say hi, but promises to the next time he's there). It was weird being here without him but luckily Grandma filled the void nicely. Morgan adored bathtime and books before bed with Grandma.
Here's Morgan and Grandma practicing his alphabet letters. Cody was back for the video but you get the picture. They formed a bond that broke my heart a little it was so sweet!
And finally here's a picture of me at 35 weeks. I am sitting on our new bed and new comforter. I promise to post pictures of our new apartment as soon as it looks a little nicer. Thanks everyone for your well wishes and prayers!
So far so good!

OHIO IS AMAZING! I'm so jealous and I hope that you love it! I want to come and visit Smucker's the next time I'm at home, I haven't been there in years!

Looks like you're getting settled. Love the mini-van...never thought I'd be one to say this, but mini-vans are the BEST! Good luck with all the changes, especially your baby girl coming!

Congrats on the move & the van! I'm sure it is bittersweet! You are just in for another adventure! Keep updating on the status of the coming baby! Sorry I have been such a slacker in the blog commenting dept. We wish you all the luck in the world!
