January 22 - May 13

He's bigger. He talks more. He does more. He's more entertaining. What did you expect? It's been 4 months since we last posted.
But where was the public outcry? This kid is, after all, awesome. At least we think so.

Really, not much has happened in the past 4 months, except...

...Eric is no longer "Associate" Pastor. Just "Pastor." No adjectives needed.

...Tate's tonsils are gone...and his adenoids...and he's got new ear tubes...and he gets sick less now...and he now has an attachment to his "hospital bear."

...Kristen is expecting a baby due in November.

...We're outgrowing our house and interest rates are still low, so we listed our house.

...We sold our house.

...We bought a house and are closing and moving on June 1.

...Tate now has a T-ball set and a swing like Jeff Bagwell (look it up if you don't know who that is).

...Kristen and Eric went to New Orleans for a mission trip.

...Kristen went and hung out with a couple best friends from college in Nevada.

...We pulled a piano in a U-Haul trailer from...basically...Canada on the longest, shortest roadtrip to see family and friends ever.

...Having cut the aforementioned roadtrip short, Eric had 3 funerals in 2 days immediately after we got home from that trip.

...Kristen finished her 1st year of grad school.

...Kristen worked through Meningococcemia Meningitis outbreak at the PICU (sad deal).

...Tate is awesome on his bike now, except for when he flips over the handlebars, splitting his lip or skinning his nose in the process. He has a helmet now.

...A bunch of other stuff.

And we didn't update the blog once. Oops. Well, we're back. Hope you didn't give up on us!
