Sierra's nap

Washington

We've made it to Washington! The kids are loving it and having a great time. Mom and George bought 6 laying hens for the kids to look after and the neighbors also have a horse, a sheep, more hens and a rooster. Grandpa George also drives the tractors and the kids absolutely love it. Jim is doing well. He stays very busy with work and calls whenever he can. We get on the webcam so he can see the kids playing together and they get to play peek a boo and sing songs to him. We joined a local group of moms so we could get to know some people and its working out really well. Our week is lined up with play dates, library times, and they loved throwing rocks in the river. Soon we'll have a few nights a week that the kids will stay with G'pa and G'ma Cook while I start going to the gym for a play date of my own.

So everything is good... all except for Sierra's visit to the ER the morning after we got here. She was holding a metal tea cup and fell with her forehead on her fist. She had 7 stitches but it's healing really well and it will look just fine in about a year. Let's hope we don't have to go there again!
