Grand Canyon and Settling In

An update is long overdue. Sorry about that. So, here's what we've been up to!

Mary's design skills have exploded!

Aaron's brother came to visit and help us move, but when our move was delayed, we took a mini-vacation instead and visited Sedona and the Grand Canyon. Above is a I photo took on a short hike.

Here's Team Timmons with Uncle Ben at the Grand Canyon. Mary became a Junior Ranger!

Josiah has recently figured out how useful stools can be.

After moving and unpacking, we have started putting in a yard (before it was just rocks and a few plants). Maybe I'll get around to posting some before and after photos when we are done. We have also acquired a few pieces of furniture off craigslist and we are starting to "make our house a home."

I have plugged into a mom's group and we have found a church and sunday school class that fit us well. It has been fun to start to make friends here and feel like part of the community. There are A LOT of kids in our neighborhood and much to Mary's delight it seems like 50% of them are 4 years old. Other than getting more teeth and getting into and onto everything, Josiah is talking up a storm! He has stopped fishing in the toilet and instead likes to stock the pond (with whatever toy is in sight). Mary is fascinated with letters and constantly trying to figure out how to spell things.

Aaron has really enjoyed his work with Amazon. It is so fun to see him in his element! The hours are long, but he has the weekends off. Everyone here is gearing up for the summer heat. They say it feels like you are walking into an oven every time you step outside. We'll see! :)
