Longing

We kind of miss the ocean.

Grandma

We were sitting at the table eating lunch and Jackson snuggled up to Grandma and asked me,

"Can you take a picture of this?"

First day of School (last week)

My little baby Jackson started kindergarten last week.

He missed the first two days of school because we were in the process of moving, but he jumped right in as soon as we got here and didn't miss a beat.

The only draw back to him starting Kindergarten is that I feel old, and Payton feels abandoned when Jackson leaves him for school.

All in all though, it's been a smooth transition and we're all doing great.

gloomy nights (& days)

I sent my soldier back to Monterey yesterday.

I miss him a lot.

We're crossing our fingers and hoping that we'll get to see you for Thanksgiving.
