twenty-something years of "what have you been up to?"

darnest things

Today I gave Camille a new cute lightweight shirt (Kenzo in fact) and she said, “I could even wear it in…no I can’t say it!”

Stefan said, “I hope we aren’t moving to Africa. They have REALLY big bugs there.” He also mentioned “Aggle-lators.” Then yesterday riding in the car he said, “Does every state have a sun, or is there one sun bright enough for the whole world?”

I hate looking at the mess in the basement and thinking that I have to go through all of it and decide what to throw away and what to put in a box that I won’t look through for two to four years or more. Ick.

    Aw, aren’t they sweet! Katherine was 8 when we moved overseas the first time, and yes it was extremely hard on her. But they do get used to it. And seems she’s cracking already, trying not to get excited 😉

    It was hard on our 10 year old, but he quickly got over it. And imagine not seeing what is in your basement for about 25 years – that would be my mother! You cannot imagine the crazy stuff she unpacked during that last move!

    Hi Dina & Peter, Hang in there. It sounds like you have more fears than expectations. Don’t sweat it. It’ll all work out. When we moved to Mito, Cody said almost daily: Papa, you’ve ruined my life. Oh that hurt. But he’s fine now. It all works out for the best – there is no alternative, is there. love you all, Clay
