We have gone through a lot of changes over the past year. Jeff's job has taken us to New Mexico with Hewlett-Packard. He moved down to Albuquerque in May to continue his job with HP since the company closed the call center down in Colorado Springs. They are opening a brand new facility in Rio Rancho, NM. The kids and I stayed back for a few months while we figured out what we were going to do with the house in Colorado. It was a long summer being apart but it made us realize how important it is to be together. Jeff usually worked Monday to Friday in New Mexico and drove 375 miles home on Friday nights. He would then turn back around and drive back to NM on Sunday afternoon. We were able to spend the weekends together. We are glad to be back together. We are now living in Rio Rancho, just down the street where the new HP facility is being built. We are adjusting well and seem to fit in and like it here. Ammon is in 2nd Grade and is forgetful just like his Dad was growing up...he always leaves his lunch boxes at school. Halle turns 5 on Oct 21st and loves to earn quarters by scratching Daddy's back. She also plays the quiet game with Ammon for 25 cents to the winner. Mom and Dad enjoy the quiet time with that game and sometimes the games go on well over an hour! Jaxon is 2 now and loves to follow his sister and brother around the house. For Halloween, Ammon will be Darth Vader. Halle is going to be a Bee and Jaxon will be a Cow like Dad. Mom will make sure the candy is distributed as Dad...I mean the kids, go trick or treating. The pictures are of us when we moved from Colorado to New Mexico, of Ammon's first day of school and of the Balloon Festival here in Albuquerque. The video is of Halle at the top of the Sandia Peak. It was so windy up there and she was so funny to watch as 50 mile per hour winds blew her hair!
