After we visited family in California, we packed up our things and headed to Battle Mountain NV. I was excited to see this town because... why on earth, I wondered, did our friends and family move to the middle of the desert?!?
Unfortunately we arrived in the dark and had to wait 'til the morning to see what Battle Mountain was all about. A trip that should've taken only 7 hours, took us 10. We're blaming it on all the California drivers who've never seen snow before. Would you believe that people were putting chains on their cars when there was NO snow on the roads and the sun was peeping through the clouds?? Crazy, I know. Jerry was a "wee" bit irritated :).
Sunday I figured out why everyone moved to this town. There's a great sense of community and friendship in the church, there's a low cost of living with good jobs to be had in the mines, and LOTS of open space for pursuing the hobbies they love... 4-wheeling!
The boys, Tys and James got along really well. It was fun to see them get to know eachother! Poor Tys wasn't feeling very well, but even so, he was a happy little guy!
Katie was never quite in the mood for a photo... but I still think she looks pretty cute. I thought it was darling how she liked to prepare a picnic with all her cups and saucers, etc... She'll be a good hostess someday!

This is me getting practice holding two little bambinos at once. Unfortunately, James didn't understand why I would want to hold a little baby when I had him. It'll be interesting to see what happens in May when his new little brother or sister arrives.
