Oh, Yeah....We are here, just sort of busy.

And the camera is missing, so if you've seen it, give us a jingle would you?

As an update, we love the home we are renting.  It has beautiful landscaped flower gardens, space for a veggie garden (which we've already planted with tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, garlic, onions, potatoes and basil.)  There is a raspberry patch, strawberry patch, and gooseberry patch, all of which are either in bloom, or we've harvested since being here.  There are grape vines with teeny-tiny grapes on them, and we are just waiting to see what happens.  There is also a very happy and productive apple tree, and a few smaller fruit trees that probably won't produce this year.

We've found a great CSA that allows us to get completely local produce, including canning quantities of beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, etc.  This is a big deal because our little garden isn't that huge here.

I spent the first three days building beds for the girls so they'd have wooden beds (yes, built, not bought and put together), and I love them.  I have great photos of them...on the camera...which is somewhere.

We've been to both Rexburg and Geneva, ID once to visit both sets of grandparents AND both sets have visited us at least once already (a much higher average than we had in NC!). 

We L-O-V-E our new neighbors.  The neighborhood is so peaceful and quiet that the children are able to run back and forth to each others' homes to play.  My kids are rarely inside, which I love.  Yesterday, as the neighbors decided to irrigate their lawn (they flood them rather than use sprinklers, each family gets a turn), the kids spent the day outside eating Otter pops and splashing in the grass.  In the first two days of being here, we'd met them all because they came to us and introduced themselves and brought either cookies or bread.  That being said, I can't wait til Christmas around here, and I'm grateful I'm gestating then and not watching my weight...hee hee!  Plus, I look forward to repaying all the kindness with some traditional cookies from the Tueller home.

There's more, but I have much to do.  Like find the camera.
