Our past few weeks in Connecticut were very full. There were lots of goodbyes to say and packing to do. Eli seemed to take it all in stride. He learned to say the word box and even "helped" to pack a few of them himself. He even found time to play outside. Playing outside is one of his absolute favorite things to do. The pictures of him below are from just before we left. However, adjusting to being in Ohio has been much tougher. He has been much whinier and grumpier. But, we have all been pretty tired and grumpy. It is hard moving!
One of the sad goodbyes we had to give was to our car. This was Michael's first car and it was hard to leave it behind. After breaking down a couple of weeks before we moved and finding that the repairs were more than it was worth, we decided to not fix it.
In Ashford, CT they do a really great Easter egg hunt every year. This is the first year Eli was old enough to go. It was a lot of fun except that it rained really hard during it. We all got really wet. Eli had a great time though and he wasn't even afraid of the Easter bunny.
Well, that's all for now. We are beginning to get used to being in Ohio, but we still miss Connecticut a lot. Not the place mind you but all of the amazing people! We left a lot of great friends and a wonderful ward family behind. We love and miss you all!

Good to hear you are getting settled in your new place. I'm sure your friends in Connecticut are missing you! Eli looks so grown up, even compared to the pictures from your most recent post. We are hoping to meet him this summer, one way or another (and his little brother, too)!
We're only about 3 hours apart now! ELi is getting so big!
I am glad you are closer to family, but moving is no fun. Best of luck and know we love you and miss you!
I hear you on missing CT. It has been a hard adjustment for us to move to IN. We are beginning to somewhat like it here, but it's not the same.
