Well, its obvious by my giant gap in posts that I went back to work. The past several moths have flown by at an alarming rate. Work has been challenging, but I have been so fortunate to be able to work from home and its been so helpful having Jason home too.
After a roller coaster of events at work, it turns out we will be relocating to Austin, TX. So the Villoria Family is taking the show back on the road. This is met with mixed emotions. Hopeful for our future there, but also sad to leave the home we've built in Reno and the winters and mountains here we've enjoyed so much. We have only a month left before we leave. Strange that Arbor is close to the same age as Weston was when we relocated to Nevada.

These past 5 months:
We finished our backyard!
It took a long time, but it turned out so great and we used it so much. From running through the sprinklers, to dinners outside, and just hours and hours of outdoor time. We would have loved to see the trees mature and go through all of the seasons.
Hudson started First Grade
Hudson has really excelled in first grade. He loves his teacher and has learned SO much. He takes the bus to and from school everyday which has been really cool too.
Weston had his tonsils out
This was tough, but Weston did SO great! He didn't fuss or cry when they took him back for his surgery. His breathing at night is so much better and we are so glad we did it, even though it was hard.
Halloween
Halloween, with trick or treating and all. In THIS year of madness, Halloween was a treat. A night of normal kid tradition, and the kids had so much fun.
Such a good snow day. Maybe 5 or 6 inches. The boys played outside for hours until they were too numb and wet to keep going.
Christmas
Santa brought a Nintendo
I can't get over that snow angel picture of Arbor!! Both my girls ooohed and aaahed at it on your Christmas card! Chris and I spent the first 6/7ish years of our lives in Austin and we LOVED it. Get ready for your kids to be completely indoctrinated in how awesome Texas is. Don't mess with Texas! ;) I went back to our old haunts once as an adult and had such a great time. I would love to make it out for a visit again sometime when life gets more normal! I always look forward to your updates -- whether they are delayed or not! Safe travels!
