After Dave was home from work for a week and was now on round 2 of antibiotics I decided I was tired of being happy nice Sierra. No, not really. Dave told me a few weeks ago he was ready for his happy nice Sierra to come back so I was really trying to be happy nice Sierra. Thursday I was tired of being happy nice Sierra again and was ready to make a list of all the things I hate right now. However, I knew that that wouldn't make anything better so I skipped that action and thought about the things I am grateful for. Moving involves so many changes and it kind of bugs and I am being a wimp about it. It's not that it is bad here, it is just that it is not the same. Does that make sense? Well this doesn't really make sense but oh well. The boys are doing good. Breckin now runs to school. I am slowing him down to stay by me till we get to the school fence. Caleb is just great. He has been on meds again for another dumb leg bump thing. This time something different but still weird. He asked again why he had to die so young. Gavin is doing fine. He has had several friends over to play and has gone to others homes to play. This really helps. Keaton still asks to play with Washy (Joshy) and Trenton has no idea anything happened. I have been busy taking down wallpaper and borders and painting things to the way I like them. I have been driving all around trying to figure out the best places to shop. Pretty much the only thing I am missing is a Costco close by. Actually, the original Costco is 10 minutes away in Kirkland. Hence the brand Kirkland Signature. It took me a bit to figure that out. It is actually a crappy Costco so I drive a little further to the next one that has a gas station and better parking. I guess that's it for now. We miss you all.

I can't wait to give you a big hug. We think about you everyday and hope that you are learning to love your new home. It will come. Everyone is leaving here anyway, so it won't be the same whether you are here or not. By next summer, I'm going to have to have a "Penny's New BFF's interview party" and I'll be the sad one with you all in your new lives. So now you can shift your feeling sad to me - it's all about me!!
Do I get to interview for Penny's New BFF?
We love you Sierra! Can't wait for our girls trip!
Until you move to Barrow you can't complain!! :o)
Moving is TOUGH and seems to not get easier as moms. Like it was so easy to move every three months in college and stuff... Anyway, I've been in Texas a year and still compare it to Virginia. The more I'm gone, the more I think things were perfect there. You were right though, it's no better or worse just DIFFERENT! I feel your pain -- and sometimes joy!
Sierra, you are amazing and I am impressed all of the boxes are unpacked already! Way to go! I love the pictures of the boys! They are all so handsome. It usually takes me about a year to get situated in a new place and feel like I know enough people well to fully appreciate where I am. You'll be great at "blooming where your planted" as Annie would say!
Sierra we miss you!! It took me over a year to feel like I had friends out here.
Ahhhhh be happy my sweet Sierra. If it helps I would trade you spots right now :)
Sorry things are difficult for you right now. It seems to me that you are doing great and that you are obviously able to roll with the punches. I was so nervous to move way out here also. I was very comfortable where we were and would miss my friends and family. I also didn’t want to have to think about making new friends. I spent days driving around trying to get oriented. It also took time talking the kids into this "great opportunity" for us to be here.
We have loved it here and Stan is 1/2 way through his 3rd year. We only have 18 months left. I remember thinking that 48 months of med school was so long. Who knows maybe we will stay for residency.
Keaton is SO funny in that second picture! Is he going to give Caleb some competition for the "funny guy" role? They all look great. And you have a smile on your face but your sad eyes tell us how you really feel. I'm sorry things have been so hard. We still look at your house every day and wish you still lived there. I don't know if knowing that makes it better or worse for you. Hope you have some happy time today. :-)
Peter's new thing is stalling at bedtime. He thinks if he just keeps talking we won't notice that time is passing and his bedtime is getting later and later. Tonight the burning question was:
When can I go visit Caleb in Seattle??
We all miss you!
=( Thanks, I needed to read that someone else's day wasn't perfect. Keep writing the positive's!
Sounds like you're putting for the effort........ one day it will click and all will seem fine again.
I love all the pictures!
And Annie really is right, until you move to Barrow, you have nothing to complain about. Ha!
"Fake it 'til you make it." It really does work, but might take some time. Good luck!
Sierra~ You are great at selling MK so put on your "happy" face and sell Seattle. How many times have you told me that MK is the BEST product ever. Well it is because you told me it was. Now tell me how great Seattle is and maybe we will move there...haha
NYC here we come!
