Back behind the Zion curtain

And we're back. It seems like such a long time ago that we left beautiful Provo, UT; yet at the same time, it's like we never left - funny how that works.
We left London on the 16th of August for a lengthy 24hr journey that took us through JFK and Salt Lake all the way back to Medford, OR where we spent a week or so readjusting to the time change and preparing for the 13.5hr drive down to Provo. Man, it's good to be back in warmer weather - it feels like we've been robbed of a real summer with all the rain and cooler weather that we had in England. Emma and I spent pretty much ever day in Medford either kicking a ball around outside or getting wrinkly toes and fingers in the neighbors pool (thanks Merrills).
School is going well and Traci has been great in getting us all unpacked and moved back in to our apartment. We're looking forward to the rest of this semester and what lies beyond. This will be my final semester in the program, so it's job hunting for us - wish us luck!
Anyway, Traci bought a double stroller while in Medford, so we took it out for a spin around the neighborhood this afternoon - here are some pics from our escapades at the Temple and one of the many Wymount play parks:



This last one is of Emma "getting the hiccups out of me" - she's a little weird (Jack doesn't seem too impressed either).

Please move here or at least come visit! I can't handle that we haven't met those little nuggets yet! I just want to squeeze little hiccuping Emma.
