Living Next to Your Best Friends

One of the families we got the closest to during our time in Hershey was the Altom Family.  They are the Mormon version of us.  Lauren and I are both nurses, Tim and Chase were both in residency, Carter and Maddox were a month apart in age, Kinley and Mia were 3 months apart, and the new baby girls will be 4 months apart.  We could open our front doors to peer into each others homes.  It really was a perfect set up.  I hope we can talk them into moving out West once residency is over so we can be close yet again.  
We miss you guys like crazy Altom Family!!!  Enjoy Hershey for us, and get a job on this side of the country!!!!      








Another Move

This medical journey has brought us to yet another move.  We were so sad to say goodbye to Hershey.  It was a wonderful place to raise the kids, and to make forever friends.  The medical community was so big in Hershey, meaning I had a lot of friends who understood what my every day life was like being a residents wife.  Not only did I make a lot of friends, I made the best of friends.  My heart hurts thinking of the wonderful people we left behind.

The end of Preschool


Carter sure did have an amazing time in preschool.  It helped him become more social, and the amount of knowledge he gained was amazing!  So worth it!  Because of the move, we had to take him out of school a month early, so he missed all the end of year activities, which was a bit sad.  Bring on kindergarden, this boy is ready!!!

Easter

Coloring eggs with Carter.  Kinley got to nap during the activities, which was probably best for every body!


So proud of all his eggs!

The kids are excited to see what the Easter Bunny left for them!

The kids were great hunters, and Carter was such a good big brother helping Kinley get the easy ones!



Our neighbor Kathie came over and told the kids the Money Bunny had left some eggs out in her yard.  She asked our kids to come get them since she didn't have any kids at home.  They loved hunting outside, and finding money in the eggs!  Thanks Kathie!!!
Since our house was in the final stages of being packed up, our dear friends Ashley and Jason invited us over for Easter dinner.  It was a great time letting the kids play, eating good food, and hanging our with them one last time!

Our First Goodbye



In preparation for our move to Missoula, Tim decided to sell his car.  We would be needing a bigger car for me to drive once the new baby comes anyways, so this would a good time to get rid of one.  Tim was pretty sad to see his car go, but he handled it like a big boy.
