Early Easter Dinner

Nothing in our house has ever been normal...and that is why it is always so exciting...and probably the only reason I would even choose to move home with my 2 kids for 5 months....many of my friends look at me like I am crazy...but little do they know the amazing parents I have. So we had an early Easter dinner....we had philly cheesesteak sandwiches...with greek salad and coleslaw...not the average Easter dinner we usually have but yummy....and I just knew my Nana would bring some kind of Easter hat..this year she made her own..and everyone wanted a try. it on. For dessert we had cheesecake and blueberry pie..and earlier today Tammy made fresh hotcross buns....then we finished with an egg hunt for the kids....I have only been here one week....and feel blessed I am staying for many more.

A Day at Bellingham Bay

Today was our last day together as a family in Bellingham before we are temporarily apart.......we went to see the Zodiac ...as well as other beautiful Sail boats....one called the Spike Afica...that R.D.and I saw 10 yrs ago in California when first meeting. We had a great lunch....Noah and R.D. built a small sailboat....and we toured the boats. I had a wonderful day..but I can't say I thought of how sad it will be when R.D. leaves for Alaska on May 3rd. I love our family.

Moving soon....

Everything seems to be happening sooooo fast right now...and yet so slow...things I want to get done...can't be done til later...and things I can get done...I don't want to ..because it reminds me that we are leaving soon. At the begining of this idea...it all seemed so great...but now as the days are getting closer....I feel tears start to well up. The idea of spending the spring/summer/fall with my parents and family....seems like heaven...but when I am reminded that the most important person in my life won't be there....it makes me real sad. Noah even mentioned that when he misses his Daddy...he will just pretend that his Daddy is knocking on Grammy and Papa's front door. OK...that brought tears to my eyes....when he said that line....This is one of those times...you just have to hang on ...hold tight and trust JESUS for everything.....HE never lets us down....and although it will feel like a lifetime apart.....I know we will all make it and appreciate each other more than we already do....so this post has no pictures.......just some thoughts.
