Connected

We are now officially connected to the internet and civilization!
Thanks to my amazing family we got loaded up and headed out of Challis Monday the 29th. We stopped in Arco for lunch and made it to Kimberly that afternoon. We are in a three bedroom fourplex. As much as I'm Disliking sharing walls again and hearing others arguments and televisions I'm getting used to it, and I know we're not here forever. We have a yard for the kids to play in with an iffy, but OK swing set. We went down to Raft River Monday night. Casey's mom feed us all dinner and we spent the night because going home to a house full of boxes wasn't very appealing.
We spent a lot of our first week unpacking and exploring the Twin Falls area. It took a couple of days to get back into regular city driving again. Kendal found our new temple and likes to talk about the people who are getting married in it as we pass. I feel like we went grocery shopping way too much, but we now have options and they have variety ( It makes me so so happy!!). We ate dinner with Brett, Vanessa, and their kids in Friday. Kendal discovered that cousins can also be girls. We were eating dinner and David called her his cousin. Kendal said only boys are cousins. We had to correct her, and she spent the rest of the night laughing at herself over it. It's going to be so nice to have cousins around! Saturday we went out and saw the Twin falls. (Which happens to be only one fall right now because the other is dammed up for a hydroelectric plant). We wandered around and enjoyed the area.
On Sunday we ventured out to our new ward. It's a friendly ward with a good group of kids. Kendal walked right into primary without a second thought. Her teacher told us it's like she's always been apart of the class. Sunday night we had Casey's parents over for dinner.
We had plans this past week to hang out with family, go to the lake, and parks, but the kids had other plans. Sunday night started with Kendal throwing up and the next four days our home has been filled with a lot of cleanup, diaper changes, clothing changes, and sad little kids. Casey and I had stomach aches but luckily not much beyond that. Thankfully Kendal is all better, and Peter is slowly getting there so we can head out today and go to the extended Darrington family reunion this weekend.
I'll post about that and make sure to add some pictures in our next post.
