I may get a break

One of the great things about having a 5 1/2 month old that weighs 18 lbs already is that your back kills you all the time. Not only does he weigh that much but he also loves me to hold him every minute that he is awake. I think I see a light at the end of the tunnel though. We bought a baby Einstein exersaucer from some of our friends and Barry loves it, or should I say he loves sitting in it while Hallie and Annie play with all the cool toys! It is a nice break for me and my back to have this new "awesome" toy around.
In other news, we only have 3 1/2 weeks left until we start our long road trip to Utah. I am very excited and nervous at the same time. Excited to see our families and nervous that I won't want to come back after the summer is done! Actually, it won't be bad coming back because we only have a year left here and that makes me a little sad. We have grown so much while we have been here and love all the awesome people that we are around. Sorry, this post is a bit random but hopefully I will have more to post on later. Here are some cute pictures of Barry and Annie. If you can't tell from the picture, Annie absolutely adores Barry and is always hugging him and trying to hold him. Annie loves it but Barry cries most of the time that she is doing it. I guess you could call it a love/hate relationship! That should change when Barry gets bigger than Annie and he is the one loving on her.
