+Andrew finished his MBA! I don't know who's more excited, him or me.

+We went to Disneyland with some of our family right at the beginning of the month. The kids had so much fun with their cousins and I had so much fun watching my children enjoy the Disney magic.

+Before we left AZ, I went to Coldstones with a bunch of my mama friends. We sat at Coldstones from 7-10:30 just talking and laughing. It was such a great last night in Arizona, but definitely made it harder to say goodbye to the friends I've made.

+We survived moving and made it to California all in one piece!

+We sold our house! Such a blessing that we were able to sell it so fast. I was really worried it would sit on the market for a while.

+We went to Disneyland a lot since moving to CA and it has been so fun. The kids love it (and Andrew and I might love it even more than them).

+Moving. It was so stressful. I'm glad it's over.

+The kids have gotten so many bumps and bruises since the move. I guess that's part of adjusting to a new house with stairs.

+Being away from all the family we lived near in AZ has been hard. We miss them.

+Moving has got me thinking about the future and how our lives will look in a few years. We know California is temporary, but that's really all we know. It's strange not to have a solid plan in place.

+I've been trying to figure out the best methods to diffuse Taylor's difficult days. I haven't found what works for him when dealing with his orneriness and his defiant moments. Anyone have any good parenting book recommendations?
