I packed the first box

And then cried for a while. Gulp...

This is going to be really a really good and really tough transition...

We've started gathering Athan's medical records, and researching doctors in Abilene and Lubbock. We started the process of getting therapies and such going after the move.

We've started talking to Morgan about moving to Texas. So far she's excited.

So, momentum for the move is picking up.... :)

Now that it's officially official...

We're moving to Abilene to be part of Elmwood West UMC. :)

steadily onward...

Athan keeps doing new things almost daily right now: taking more initiative to walk on his own. walking longer distances with us holding just one hand, walking alone and changing direction without sitting or holding on to anything... Just keeps plugging ahead at Athan's pace.

Morgan also seems to have new skills every day: new words she can read, new chores she takes on, new expressions of creativity...

That explains what I do most days. :) But I'm also reading lots, and starting to pack.

Ryan's doing school, gardening, and working on a couple of woodworking projects here and there.

Just doing what we do and watching Kentucky bloom. Good days...

let this be a holy moment now

Athan and Morgan were baptized yesterday.

Christ is risen! Hallelujah!
