This is really it...

I can't believe we are actually moving. I thought maybe if I just pretended that we weren't ever leaving that it might never happen. Alas, after 5 1/2 years in Tucson we are bidding a fond farewell to it all. We will miss this hot deserty place. All three of our children were born here and this is the only house they have ever known as "home".

Things we will miss:
Our ward!
All our ward friends!
Living just 2 hours from Quinn's parents and my sister Lo.
The "dry" heat.
The awesome winters.
The amazing Zoo.
Sonoran Hot Dogs (I am crossing my fingers that they have these in Del Rio)
The mountain biking
My chiropractor
Our wonderful friends (they deserve to be mentioned twice)
The Children's Museum
Eegees
The ghetto race car races (just a mile from our house)
Quinn being able to ride his dirt bike in the desert by our house
Our grapefruit tree
Never having to mow our artificial grass:)

Things we are looking forward to in San Antonio:
Stairs!!
(the boys only request for when we moved was that our house have stairs)
Chase's preschool
Jack's school being a mile from the house
Living near things!
Sea World
Quinn gets to fly a fun plane
etc.

So, this is poor baby Tessa's room right now:

WE are about ready to go.


By the way...Here is the pic of Quinn's last flight in the C-130
He got the traditional cooler dumping

No post is complete with out an updated pic of Tessa. She is getting so big and so adorably chubby! Still the best baby in the world. :) Not that I am biased or anything;)

I hope the move goes well. San Antonio will be great. And Tessa is such a cutie!

I've been wondering how and where you were at with the move. Good luck! I was thinking you were going to a different Texas town - San Antonio isn't that bad. Your little Tessa is ADORABLE!

please be sure to let us know any time you guys come to visit quinns parents. It was hard to leave the ward, and the sonoran hot dogs :) Luckily we have found a recipe that makes some that are pretty darn close, just getting the mayonaise into a small squeeze container is tricky:) good luck with the move!!!
