...We have had so many adventures and made so many fabulous memories so far as a family.  This is how I know without a doubt that our family will thrive and have so many new awesome experiences as we start on this new chapter in our lives.  In June, our little family will pack up and move to St. Louis, Missouri as a result of Ian's new job within his company.  Once we get there, who knows what fun we’ll have!
