They're Back

Em, Nate, and the boys moved back to AZ from PA. They have only been here for a week or so but Nate's already getting settled into his new job with SRP. Malakye is doing full day kindergarten at his new school in Queen Creek. Emily has been busy dealing with closing the old house in Pitts and closing the new house in Mesa. Yesterday Ryan, Bella and I went out to Gilbert and met them over at Aunt Ninas house. We had a nice long visit with Aunt Nina. She looked good and seemed to be doing ok. Emily noticed a painting hanging in her living room, and recognized the scene from a photograph she has seen. I guess one of Nina's friends is an artist and painted it from a photo that Nina had displayed in the house. It was a birthday present for her. The painting was of a woman and 4 kids outside by a little stream. Grandpa Tony was the little boy and the girls were his sisters and the lady was their mother. Pretty neat. I thought it was neat that Em recognized it from the photo she had seen before. I should have taken a photo of the painting and emailed it to mom. Next time. After the visit we all went to a park, then got some dinner. It was a sunny day and those guys are still adjusting to the weather here. Malakye got a sunburn on the back of his legs. Everyone had a good time.
