Yesterday Marc, Michelle, and Jackson moved to California. It was a day I anticipated for a long time...I knew I would have good and bad feelings all wrapped into the same emotion. It is definitely nice to feel less cramped and to be able to make the basement a little more like "home" for me and my kids. However, at the same time, it has been unusually and depressingly quiet since they have left. Yesterday, after I picked up Tyler from school, he shouted "Jackson!" as we walked into the house. At that very moment, I felt horrible! We really are going to miss having them around. Luckily, a 2 year old and a 4 year old can be easily distracted. Tyler and Susie love having their own beds (complete with new Little Mermaid sheets for Susie), and playing with toys has become less of a chore since space is no longer in short supply. I've attached some photos of their new room.

Yeah! That is nice to be able to spread out a little bit! Even though I am sure you will miss them.
Bitter sweet is not fun. I guess space it great and change is good. That is funny that you headed back form CA and they are heading there. I'm sorry we have bee so busy, I hope we do see each other again soon. We travel a bunch in the fall but we should work in something.
Oh Amy...just when I thought I was done crying about the move. Its been 3 days since I last cried about it, but this post just got to me. I really miss being there, but am also glad to see that you guys have a little more space. It is definitely nice to feel like you have a place to put your things and kids...rather than stuffing everything into one small bedroom. It breaks my heart to hear about Tyler calling Jackson's name, but it breaks my heart when Jackson prays for Tyler and Susie to leave "ootah" and come be with Jackson to California. It was a great summer and I am grateful for the time that we did get to spend together. Things really are good here. I've already been invited for a playdate and a trip to the beach...so I know it will only get better, but I still have my moments of missing "ootah" and family. :)
