Hello Everyone~

We hope this finds you all healthy and happy.  We are in the midst of looking at moving.  Derek got a new job proposal, in Michigan.  Of all places!  He would be the District Manager of Western Michigan and we would be looking at living in the Lansing area. 

As you all know, well mostly all know...Derek is in Las Vegas for the week so when he gets home we have A LOT to talk about.  I have already been online and looked at housing.  It seems to be about the same or less for a similar house there.  Derek was also told that the area is actually similar to Green Bay.  Who knows if that is the truth or not.  I looked at schools there, and I already kinda figured that we are going to be losing a lot of money there.  I am trying to figure out a way that maybe I could stay here with the kids and he could be gone Sunday through Thursday or something of the sort.  Derek has already said that he doesn't think he could spend that much time away from us but realistically we are looking at only 8 months until I graduate and he would be home on weekends and we would visit him on our extended breaks.  Like the 7 week winter break, Easter, Spring Break, etc.

Well, anyways....On a more fun note.....We went to the beach today.  It was a lot of fun.  Attached above is a really cute photo of my brother and Skyler.  They were having a blast and Dustin even took her all the way to the floating raft.  She was in seventh heaven.  Brett enjoyed his time there too and Ayden didn't even go in.  He still has his umbilical cord and I didn't want to get that wet and lake watery!  But nonetheless he slept the whole time anyways!  I wish that was his night time routine!  I am going to try and keep him up for quite sometime this evening but it doesn't always work that way!

Well I better vamoose....I hear Brett getting hollered at repeatedly!  Love to all of you!

Love:  Derek, Nikki, Skyler, Brett, and Ayden
