Thankful

I think it was Eleanor Roosevelt who said, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." I don't know if we would say that there was any fondness absent, but our move to Milwaukee has given Colby and me an even greater appreciation for our families. It's kind of a crazy feeling when you can't jump in the car and see them in a few hours.

We are so thankful for the love and support they give us. We appreciate all the help and sacrifices they made to help us make this move and start this new phase of our lives. We miss being close and watching soccer and football games, school programs, violin and piano recitals, and everything that's going on in their lives. However, we are very thankful for cell phones, Skype, text messaging, e-mail, Facebook, and blogs. We love you all--Dad and Mom Duncan, Dad and Mom Hales, Katie, Brian, Braxton, Tim, Mitch, Slater, Brynlie, Tieker, and Halli!

Below are a couple of family pictures right before we moved.
