Missour-EE or Missour-UH?

That's what a pilot asked us as we were boarding the plane for Missouri. Which will you call it? Ashlyn decided that she will switch off. I haven't yet decided.

After three fun weeks of vacationing in California, we are now settling in to life in Missouri. Just a few quick snapshots from our first couple days in Missouri...

We think we have a little deer family that has made our backyard a home. Two days in a row, we have seen a mama deer with her two babies. We love watching them run across the yard and play in the trees.

On our first walk through the trees in the backyard, I looked back at Ash to find her slowly crouching to the ground to catch this baby frog.

Other than a swim at the little neighborhood pool, we have been cooped up in our house unpacking box after box. We have met some really nice neighbors, and have heard that there are about 30 young kids in our neighborhood.

Rolla looks much prettier with leaves covering the many trees here. I hardly recognized our house with all of the trees surrounding it when we pulled into the driveway.
