Well, we have less than a week left of our short stay here in Kansas. Life has been crazy over the last few weeks trying to get ready for the move. We've also been trying to visit all our "favorites" places and restuarants before we go (jason's deli, minsky's pizza, mi ranchito, to name a few!). I took Keira and two of her best friends, Lexi and Reese, to Deanna Rose Farmstead. They had so much fun feeding the animals, playing on the playground and eating Popsicles. While the girls just had a great time because they don't quite understand the significance, it was bittersweet for me to watch them have such a great time, knowing this was the last time this would happen in a long time. Yes, we'll be back to visit, but it won't be the same. This is the hardest part of this move - Keira has her own little life now. Friends, school, playdates, etc and taking her away from those things is hard. And sad. The good news is, Keira is great at making friends. Everywhere we go, she picks up friends. Vacation, the park, swim lessons, she always finds someone to play with and they are great friends for as long as we are there. So now, we just have to go "pick up" some new friends. I am going to miss all my Mom friends here too - I am not as good at picking up friends as she is, so it will probably take me a bit longer.
The next time you hear from me, it will be from the great state of Missouri. Hopefully it will be relatively soon and please pray the trip over is MUCH less eventful as the trip to Kansas was. I really can't deal with another near death experience.
