We finally got all of our ducks in a row and listed our house. We are excited and scared to start a new adventure with out family. We will hopefully be in our new house in June 2017, right when Ethan is graduating high school!! This is going to be a big new year for us and I am so excited to begin this journey!

Ella and I were able to take a quick family trip down to Boise to see baby Eleanor in January. Ella was very excited to hold her new baby cousin.
