Update

I think it's about time I wrote something to let everybody know that we are alive. Since I cannot tell you every single thing that's happened to us in the last, I don't know, FIVE MONTHS!!!! (Believe me, I've got validated excuses for not writing in a long time). I'll give a quick update of the important events regarding our family the last few months:
-After my sister gave birth to her baby daughter on Halloween, we enjoyed having a baby in the house again (all crying set aside of course).
-Our little family keeps growing! I think that, by now, almost everybody is aware that we are expecting our third child due this June. We are all soooo excited about it, even Taylor and McKay, and I am happy that the all-day morning sickness is gone.
-My mom is in the house! Yep! My mom came to stay with us for the months of December and January. She came all the way from Honduras to come meet her granddaughters for the first time and spend Christmas and New Year's with all of us. So, for a while there, we had a total of 8 people living in our house: 5 adults, 3 kids under the age of two and a dog.
-Ben got a promotion! That's right! In January, Ben became the new manager of the Banner Bank branch in Nampa, ID. Congratulations Ben! We are all so happy for you!
-We moved! Of course, with Ben getting a new position in Nampa, we decided that the commute from Pasco, WA to Nampa, ID was going to be a little hard, so we said good-bye to our home in Washington and made Idaho our new home state.
-We are no longer homeowners! We were so blessed to be able to sell our Pasco house so quickly considering how the current economic situation has affected everyone. For the moment, we are renting a house and looking to buy one in this area.
So you can see that we've been very, very busy. We are all getting ready for the arrival of our new baby, and also getting used to a new place, new routines, new friends, new ward, new job, new state, etc. But, we are also grateful for the new opportunities and changes that have come our way.

  3. Welcome back!!!! I was hoping all was well with your family and I had heard about the pregnancy and move so I figured you were really busy. Do you know the gender? Are you going to find out? Good to hear your update!
