We have arrived in AZ! And good lordy it is HOT. And I don't mean slightly warm, or a tad toasty, I mean melt-your-skin-off-like-you-are-swimming-in-a-pot-of-boiling-oil HOT. It was 114 degrees yesterday. What did you say? I said 114 degrees. I'm sorry, I must have misunderstood you. No, you heard correctly, I did indeed say 114 DEGREES.
And yes, I know that I will need to change the blog name, but I'm just not there yet. I mean in reality, all of our belongings are still in Nashville so this isn't quite home yet. But I have learned a few things since we left Nashville...
1. 10 month olds do not enjoy 4 hour flights in mommy's lap.
2. Mommy doesn't enjoy them either.
3. 3 year olds with explosive diarrhea are not so much fun in airplane bathrooms while holding aforementioned baby.
4. 114 degrees is hot no matter how you slice it. Humid or dry, you're gonna sweat.
5. Black on black was a very poor choice for car colors.
6. Small children don't really enjoy looking at houses. But 3 year olds love the wide open spaces to RUN around in.
7. Just because there is gravel out front does not mean that it is new construction.
8. I feel pretty good about being here. Sort of feels right. The people are very friendly and I think we're going to fit right in...once it cools off.
But I didn't blog before we left, I ran out of time before Jona took the computer. So here is a photo recap....
...or not. The computer won't let me work with pictures so I will do that some other time.

We miss you Nashville and all of our wonderful friends and neighbors. Thank you for being so good to us! Come see the desert some time, we think you'll like it out here :)

Wow Leslie! So glad you guys got out there safely, and blogging already, awesome! I can't wait to hear more and see some pics. You had me cracking up with your list of things you've learned - #3 is by far the best. Nothing like a good preggo belly laugh at 7am as I'm trying to wake up with my cup o' joe. On the other hand, it's a reality check for what I'm sure I'll be going through one day ;-)
I keep telling Gonzalo that you were one of the only girls that made my day whenever I got floated to postpartum (which I dreaded). I actually enjoyed it on those days :-)
Love ya, miss ya, and wish you guys the very, very best. The blogging world makes it feel like we don't miss a beat.
