15 states in 4 weeks

We're finally living in a place with internet again, so my hiatus from blogging can be over.  We said good-bye to our Connecticut home on Saturday, June 22nd about 9:30 p.m., after the movers finished packing the truck.  After that we traveled to Michigan, via Niagara Falls, and arrived at our new home on Tuesday.  We had about a week to unpack things.  The following Monday, Jonathan flew to San Antonio for the youth gathering.  We (the boys and I, plus Sarah, James, Michael, and my parents) started our road trip.  We traveled to Indiana to visit cousins, Aunt Vicki, and Grandma there.  Then it was on to Steeleville, IL to see Aunt Marilyn, Uncle David and Jacob.  We stayed a night in St. Louis, picked up the two Jonathans at the airport, and saw a Cardinals' game with David and our friend Katie.  The next day, we drove to Iowa, and met Rachel, Ryan, Bella, and Bo, where we all stayed for about four days.  Our next leg of our adventure was on our own.  We drove down to Florida for Aunt Mary and Uncle Ken's 50th wedding anniversary celebration, and family reunion of Jonathan's mom's side of the family.  After a week in Orlando, it was finally back to our new house in Michigan.  We've been here several weeks now, getting settled in, meeting people, and exploring the area.  (In case you were wondering, here are the 15 states--CT, MA, NY, PA, OH, IN, MI, IL, MO, IA, KY, TN, GA, FL, AL, and TX for Jonathan.)
