First two weeks in Jackson

We've only been in Jackson two weeks and it feels like we've already done a lot.  It's nice to have Richard here in the evenings, and we even had some pretty good weather a few days ago.  The kids are happy, although Ethan did ask to move back to Boise the other day.  Solution:  Go to the pool and remind him why we like Jackson so much.  We try to do that about once a week --especially on rainy days. Ethan's getting really good at holding his breath and is so proud of himself. I'm glad I have healthy young husband who's willing to take them up all those stairs to go down the slides over and over and over again --I'm not up for that these days.  We live quite a ways from any parks, so when it was nice weather out, we made our own in our little back yard and had a picnic.  Yesterday, I was feeling under the weather (yes, another illness to plague this pregnancy, ugh), so Richard took the kids into town to a park and to do some grocery shopping.  It's been cold the last few days, even a few snow flurries, but we were expecting that.  We've been making the most of it, and look forward to better weather this summer.

By the way, we're having trouble with Blogger's video uploader, so we've had to use Viddler. Sorry if there's any quality decrease, but we figured something was preferable to nothing.

Liam's comment: "Your house looks very, very fun! Building the fire pit looked fun. How does Gabe know how to say 'hamburger'? I am jealous of your hammock."
