New Life in California

So as of right now we are making California our new home! Carly back working at the pharm's and shad's playing Mr. MOM while job hunting. We are enjoying our friends here and being so close (hehe) to all our family! We love having vegetables in our garden and fruit in our trees! Cru's happy to have everyone's attention 24 hours a day and so much playing time outside!

North Carolina to California

NC to CA was a little more rushed and a little less excited! so we pushed all of ourselves to the limit on this trip.

Concord, NC - Little Rock, Arkansas
Arkansas - Albuquerque, New Mexico
New Mexico - Flagstaff, Arizona
Arizona - Thousand Oaks, California

playing at a park in flagstaff. we had lots of fun visiting relatives there.
