A New "Normal"

I want to say that life has returned to normal, but it's not the same normal. Jasons' mom, Imajean, and I are here with the girls. Everyone else has left. And this is the way it will be for the next month.

My mom and dad left today. They were here five days and worked their tails off to get our house into shape for selling. I know when they left they wished they could stay longer because they see there is so much more still to do and I know they worry about me carrying that burden. They took Dutch with them, so we can "de-dog" our house before selling.



Jason also left today. His "normal" has also changed. New job, new place to live. He is spending the night in a motel and will report for work at 7:30 tomorrow morning. He is really excited to start his new job. We are all looking forward to a report on what it is like.


Updates on the girls: Elise's new thing is running through the sprinkler. We have been watering grass because it's been pretty dry and hot. Well, one day she got wet by accident and discovered she liked it. Since then, she's been out in it every day.
























Anja is a full-fledged crawler now, and getting around everywhere. She is also starting to crawl up onto things and trying to pull herself into a standing position. And, on this Fourth of July holiday weekend, she thoroughly enjoyed corn on the cob and watermelon.
