40 reasons you haven't heard from me...

There are at least 40 reasons... but the 40 little toes and fingers at my house have kept me pretty busy. But as if 40 little toes and fingers weren't enough there was the start of first grade and a whole new schedule for the entire family. But again...why stop there...Jared has decided to take a job teaching at Northwestern University in Chicago as the Assistant Director of Prosthetics. We will be moving to chicago in three weeks and closing on our new house just a few days later. And to add to all of that excitement we have even caved in and decided to become a mini van family...for all of you who know us well...you will understand what a big step that is. All of these fabulous changes have taken us by storm and we are spending every waking moment working towards what is coming. We will be back in touch as the world slows down just a little...but until then, there are enough new pictures being posted to last you all until then! Cheers!

So exciting to hear all the great news! I'm excited about the house and minivan. I love all the pictures, especially the feet in the sand, London's missing teeth and your darling dark baby girl. I'll call you soon. Much love and good vibes coming your way.

LOVE the updates!! I can't believe how big the kiddos are getting! It seems like it was just last week that you were posting about how London was starting kindergarten, that Addie was the one being blessed, or that you were pregnant! Crazy. Congrats on the new job/big move! Chicago...a dream come true for the Howells! We're so happy for you!!

Wow!! Back to Chicago! I'm so excited for you. But just in time for the winter. Brrr! I know you'll have so much fun there, so much to do and see! Your kids are adorable and I'm so glad to see that you're having fun with photography! You've got talent.

BTW We have a Honda Odyssey and I LOVE my van! And the sliding side doors are awesome. I push the button on my key fob and the kids can get in all by themselves! And seriously, if you don't get a van for the extra seats, safety ratings, or gas mileage, get an Odyssey for the FIFTEEN cup holders! Yup! 15! Seriously, who needs that many!
