- We are in the midst of our moving transition
- Jacob is not handling it so well.
- He asked to call his "China Baba" last night.
- This is the first time that has happened......ever.
- I walked back into our home that is now filled with boxes this morning and cried.
- I'm going to miss it here.
- We have made some powerful friendships, most of them driven by our journey to the boys. Never in my life have I ever experienced such un-ending support and encouragement.
- I accidentally donated a bunch of clothes to the thrift shop that a dear friend lent to me when we first arrived home with Joey and Jacob. In my jet lag fog I managed to miss the word lend. I feel like an idiot.
- Jacob asked to call his China Baba last night.
- My husband is finishing his final exam today for the school that kept us here for another year.
- After 11 months I may actually see his face out from behind a book.
- I have forgotten what he looks like.
- I've decided to break with tradition and wear a simple back and white sundress to the graduation ball next week instead of a formal gown.
- The gowns are packed.
- I used to like moving so often way more than I like it now.
- Now it tends to make me more sad than excited.
- Jacob asked to call his China Baba last night.
- The twins are at sleep away summer church camp until Friday.
- I miss them so much it hurts.
- My dear friend Kim is coming into town this weekend and I can't wait to see her.
- My dear friend Lanette is leaving town shortly after us and I don't want to say goodbye to her.
- This Sunday is our last at our church.
- The thought of that makes me want to ugly cry. I'm going to miss my church & Bible study posse. Those women amaze me.
- Jacob asked to call his China Baba last night.
