We're Back!

Well we're back in Ann Arbor! We were in Utah/Idaho this summer for an internship Phil had with IHC in Ogden. For the first part of the summer we were house sitting for Phil's sister-in-law's sister in Layton. They took an extended trip to Europe and needed someone to look after their house and we happily obliged! Then for the second half of our summer Felix and I stayed in Rexburg with my mom and dad and Phil would drive/rides a bus up on the weekends. We were sad to say goodbye to family, but we're so happy to back in Ann Arbor with all our stuff and good friends. 

As you've probably noticed, I haven't blogged at all this summer, so there are a lot of posts coming soon. This will post #1 of ? (haven't decided yet)

When we got to Utah, we stayed a night with Andrew and Rebekah and we got to see a lot of family that day. My mom, dad, Julia and Jonathan were all in town and they all celebrated Felix's birthday. Below is part of a lovely rendition of Happy Birthday. Sadly, by the time we started dinner and cake Felix was already in bed. 

The house we stayed in in Layton was really nice and we are so glad we got to stay there. Phil mowed the lawn, I watered plants. It gave us a good peek into what it will be like to own our own home and we loved it! 

There was a large play room for Felix to play in, which he loved! About a week after we got out there Felix started walking, so we had tons of room to practice his skills. They even had a little tykes car that he rode around in. 

We also had a few deer sitings. Growing up the most exciting things I ever saw in my backyard were wild turkeys, so I love spotting deer.

Rita (Phil's mom) came out for the birth of Dan and Wendy's baby, but got to spend a few days with us! Felix loved having Grandma around. It took him a little while to warm up to her, but pretty quickly they were fast friends. 

The rest of May and June were filled up with lots of playing at the park. 

There's lots more to come from our summer out west!
