Our Family

Hello friends and family!

Once again, I am beginning a new blog. Myspace was okay, but some people had problems with it. So, this seems to be the easiest way to post our updates.

Right now we are traveling between all the grandparents, until we take off for Egypt June 12th. Ellie is loving it, as she loves being the center of attention. The only downside for her is she misses her Aunt Nichole and friend Kyle (well, mostly Mindy). She even invented her own sign for Nichole. For those of you who don't know, she uses sign language to communicate, and she knows about 20 signs. We were showing her a family picture and every time we pointed to Nichole she would cross her arms in front of her. We can't figure out yet if she is saying "I Love you", or if it is because Nichole often crosses her arms, or if it is something completely different. Either way, she is one smart cookie.

We have some big news (no, no new baby). Jason was offered the Fulbright award, and after much deliberation, we have accepted it. This means that we will be going to Jordan (the country in the Middle East) this year, from September to June of next year. We'll post more about that later, but we are still planning to go to Wisconsin for Jason's Ph.D., it will just be delayed a year.
