on the move

No, we are not moving (thank goodness!)... but two of our favorite families in the whole wide world are on the move this week.

Matt's brother Andy and his wife Kristi and their three kiddos, Connor, Carson and Kaelynn, load up this weekend and move 9 hours north of their current home. We are mostly excited because their new home is only about an hour from where we plan to spend the fall of 2010!!!! We can't wait for LOTS of cousin-time :)

It's been a while since we last saw them. Almost two years to be exact. Lydia and Isaac have never met their favorite cousins! Julianna and Kaelynn looked like this during our last visit.....


Sometimes I am really sad when I realize how long it has been since we've seen them. But I am also really excited about fall 2010 and how close we will be and how much time we'll get to spend together!

The other family on the move? Matt's sister Krisanne and her husband Paul - who just spent 40 hours on airplanes and in airports and ended up a mere 3600 KM (2200 miles) from us!!! Now, that might not sound close to you, but when you live on the opposite side of the globe from 99.9% of your family, that's CLOSE!!!! We are SO SO excited to welcome family to our side of the world, and have big plans for a visit this winter :)

PS - Andy, Kristi, Connor, Carson and Kaelynn.... on Sunday night you'll be sleeping 11,780 KM (7300 miles) away from us. But don't worry, we're going to come see you in a year or so!!

We love and miss you all so very much! Your moves are resulting in BIG benefits for our family and we are so grateful :)

I'm getting my distance info from this site, pretty cool, huh?

Laura - we are so happy to be so much closer to you, too! We can't wait to have you visit in February and hope we can visit you again sometime soon! We totally agree that when you live this far from home, the amount of miles between us isn't too much! Love you!

Hey Laura!
Let us know where you'll be and maybe you guys can swing by and see the Flythe Fam!
