Lincoln's Big Decision

This is a video from Lincoln's first birthday (October 1). We decided to follow a Korean tradition usually performed on a child's first birthday. We placed different objects in front of him on a table, each of which corresponded to a different "future". For example, a ball signifies an athlete, a ruler signifies an engineer, or a dollar bill signifies a rich man. It was a lot of fun. See the big decision for yourself below.

Minnesota Here We Come

Last week, Vance formally accepted a job offer to work for a company in Eden Prairie, Minnesota as their Product Development Engineer! We are really looking forward to this new adventure in our lives. We visited the area and we think we will love it. We are also happy to move their because it is supposed to be a great place to live. In 2010, CNN's Money Magazine named it the #1 place to live in the United States. More importantly, we will have awesome family close by. We have a sister and brother-in-law and their two darling girls who will be so close. We will be not too far from my parents in Wisconsin as well. We don't have an exact moving date yet, but hopefully soon.

Anyway, we are really sad to leave all of our friends who have become family here in Indiana. We have fallen in love with this place and it will be hard to say goodbye. I really am starting to feel an ache inside knowing we are leaving. We have so many great friendships and memories here and we love this area. We have the best of friends and are so grateful for them!
