We arrived safely in Fargo, ND last evening. The trip went very well, apart from an out of control diaper experience and a required pitstop to change Sophia due to a little spit-up action. Sophia slept most of the 5 hour trip. Hillary felt pretty good on the trip other than being a little sore.
During the night at the hotel, Sophia slept for a 5 hour jaunt and a three hour jaunt, giving Mom and Dad some much needed and appreciated rest (I am not sure if "jaunt" is the right word here, but I decided to use it since it has become one of Hillary's favorite words.).
This morning, we wake up refreshed and ready to head to St. Paul, MN. It should take us another 5 hours or so. Thanks to all of you who continue to keep us in your prayers.

A Full Week
Wow... what a week!
On Tuesday, June 10th, the week began with both sets of Sophia's Grandparents celebrating their 30th anniversary. Both couples just happened to be married on the same day, same year!! We want to take a second to say congratulations to Grandpa Walter and Grandma Diana and Grandpa Owen and Grandma Patty as they experience this awesome milestone in their lives.
On Tuesday, Hillary had a doctor check up to find out that she is mending and healing very well. We praise God for this great report.
Then yesterday, Wednesday, June 11th, Sophia's Aunt Meredith celebrated her 21st birthday. Happy Birthday!! It is sooo hard to believe that my baby sister is 21!!!! Well, Mere, we are so happy to have you in our lives, and we know that Sophia is going adore you!
Also, yesterday Sophia had her very first doctor visit. She also so doing very well. When she was born she was 7lbs 6oz. When she was discharged from the hospital she weighed 6lbs 13oz. Less than two weeks later, she is at 8lb 9oz. Needless to say, she is feeding well. She is doing great with her sleep also, considering there are so many changes happening with our upcoming move tomorrow.
This whole week, Hillary and I have been working hard to pack up for our 3rd move in less than a year. I believe we are ready to settle down a bit after this one (God willing). The moving truck was dropped off yesterday. Today movers come to help us load it. And tomorrow, we begin the venture home.
We are sorry if the updated pictures will be scarce at this time... once we arrive home next week, we will spend some time adding our photos from Sophia's First Road Trip.
We are sad to leave all of our friends here in North Dakota. They have become our family and we will miss them greatly. Dakota's, thanks for the great experiences and good times... we will never forget you.
So... till next time, thanks for continuing to check out our blog! See you soon!

Grand Theft Baby
Grandma Diana left yesterday... soo sad...
Look what we caught her trying to pack in her suitcase.
We don't blame her for trying, Sophia Lane is toooo irresistably beautiful.
Sophia, Hillary, and I do want to say a huge congradulations to Grandpa Walt who is celebrating his retirement with the Navy today. We love you and wish we could be there with you. Know that we are very proud of you and you are in our thoughts today!
Our little Sophia... ONE WEEK OLD!
My, oh, my... where does the time go... our little daughter is all grown up. Today was her one week birthday. She asked mommy and daddy if they would post some of her grown up pictures. Here they are... enjoy! We sure do.
