A long stretch...

So, it's been two months since I last checked in, and a lot has happened! Congrats to Julie and Daniel on their new addition, Nora Jane, and to Jarom and Cynthia on their Nadia. We'll be joining the ranks soon enough and doing our part to keep the Olson name alive with Cardon! I started working from home and though it's been an adjustment, it's nice to only go into the office twice a week. Justin started his new job at ConAgra on May 19. So, no more cheap yogurt, but now we can look forward to cheap microwave popcorn. In other fun news, we're buying a house! I think it's and even bigger pain to buy a house then plan a wedding (and Justin did most of the work on that!), but we're set to close on June 13. We'll move in on the 14th and Justin's supposed to go to Omaha for training on the 16th. As long as the baby doesn't come, we'll be good!

We have to go way back to catch up with pictures! So, here are a few shots from Easter. Everyone came to Cincinnati, Uncle Lynn & Aunt Darlene from Atlanta and the Stavron's from Chicago. It's always a blast to hang out with all of them and we had a great time.

And here we are with Huey, you can't forget the bunny on Easter!




About a month after Easter, Jarom, Cynthia, and the girls came to Cincinnati because they were adopting Nadia. They got to stay for two whole weeks, so we had to come down to spend some time with them!
It was Madison's birthday while they were here, so we had a party! There was a pinata, but Camden and Madison couldn't quite get the word right, so it came out "pi-nadia." Close enough!

Over Memorial Day, we took our trek to Arizona to spend time with Brett, Barbs, and family. I kind of didn't tell my doctor that I was flying 6 weeks before my due date, but since everything's been problem free, I didn't anticipate any problem. The hardest part was sitting on a plane for 3 straight hours. Otherwise, it was a breeze! While we were there it poured down rain, Megan graduated, there was a big party like "My Super Sweet 16," and we had an overall great time. We love spending time out there with all the nieces and nephews!




Last, but not least, here are a couple pictures of our new house. I think most everyone has seen the pictures, but here are a couple of the outside. It's 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, so we've got lots of room for people to come stay!


I think that's it! If I'm being completely honest, the next time I get around to updating this will probably be after the baby's born! So, apologies in advance if you don't hear from me in the next month. I've got to move into a new house and birth a baby in the next three weeks! We love hearing from everyone and hope all is well!!!
