Just Our Luck

So, we are here and settled in Las Vegas. But it did not go the way we thought it would. As many of you know moving is not fun and is stressful, so when anything goes wrong it adds to the stress. Well anything that could have gone wrong, went wrong. Curtis was going to follow Jeff and I to the airport to drop the kids and I off, then start the 17 hour drive but, when he went down to the truck to leave it had been broken into. Nothing was stolen except a $20 pair of sunglasses, but the window was smashed and everything that was in the front was thrown on the ground. Luckily, Curtis had bought two pad locks for the back and kept the keys in the house. Once Curtis and Jeff got on their way 10 hours late, the truck started to over heat so they would pull over and wait for it to cool down and that just added to their delay. Finally we all arrived in Las Vegas Monday night and finished unloading the truck around 10:00. Wednesday morning we got up to take the truck to get the window fixed and then return it. When we went to get the truck, it was gone. Apparently HOA rule is that you can not park commercial trucks on the property so the president called to have it towed, so we spent all day getting the truck out, fixed and back to the truck rental. This whole experience has made us very excited to have to move again in 11 months.
Although the move didn't go so well we did get did get to spend a little time with my family, and best of all... go to Taylor's first dance recital. All I have to say is I have the cutest little girl in the whole world and she did such a good job at her recital. I am so glad we were able to stay in Portland just so as Taylor would say she could dance on a big stage with curtains and lights just like a real ballerina.

Big News

Well it has been a long time and I have a lot to report. We have had a lot of things going on this last month so I wont go into detail.
About 3 weeks ago we went to good old Cali, it was fun for the most part. It started out with Connor having a fever which causes him to have seizures, so that set us back a bit but he was feeling better a couple of days later. We got to Anaheim Tuesday night and went to Disney Land Wed and Thur. Of course Wed afternoon Taylor started to act funny so we took her temperature and found she had a fever of 103 but she didn't want to leave Disney Land so we drugged her and stayed. Although she was sick the two day we were their if you ask her she will say she had fun and that's all that matters.
Friday was the big day, that's was the day Curtis Graduated. Sorry if I brag a little but I am so proud of Curtis . Not only did he complete Med school but he is also an awesome husband and dad . After every meal Connor stands up and says "Look mom I'm almost as big as dad" and he is always telling us that he wants to be just like his dad, and Taylor has always been a daddy's girl. Anyway good job Curtis we love you and are proud of you.
Not only did we have a fun vacation but we also found out that we are having a baby boy. Yep, that's right. I am 22 weeks pregnant and counting down. We are all so excited to be having a new little one join our family. Especially the kids, anytime we leave they ask, "Mom, are we going to go get the baby out?" They can't wait to have him join us. So that's a quick update on what been going on in the Hendrickson Family.

Connor had just woke up and was not quite with it yet, and Taylor would not
let us take any pictures with Curtis because she thought he looked like Darth Vader.
