Liam's third Birthday

Liam turned three 2 and half weeks after we moved.  He never seems to be wearing clothes on his birthday.....

Moving

So we moved.  6 weeks ago.  We know live Georgetown KY which is just a little North of Lexington KY.  It was crazy.  I hate moving.  I don't like doing new things, and when you move, everything you do is new.  However, I really tried to stay positive through out the whole thing.  I knew it was going to be stressful and I knew some unforeseen things would come up.  I tried to tell myself that over and over again while it was going on.  I tried to laugh a lot instead of crying when I felt overwhelmed.  I allowed myself to cry with my kids when they cried about missing their friends.  I told them it was ok to cry and be sad.  It is always hard to say good bye to friends.  Both Ali and Shadrach wrote me many notes expressing their feelings.  It made me happy that they were able to write about their emotions and express themselves so well.  Shadrach often wrote how he was "willy, willy, willy, willy sad" ( just because he is a genius, doesn't mean he spells well ).

My emotions have been hard for me to understand.  This move was easier than the first move.  I didn't feel like I was moving away from "home" this time.   So that was easier. I don't have anger like I did with the first move. However, we only lived in West Chester for 2 years and 1 month.  I finally felt like I had a few things figured out and then we decided to move. :(  I tried really hard to make friends in West Chester; however, I still wasn't super close to anyone by the time we decided to move.  Part of that is just me because I would rather hang out with Greg in the evening than friends.

Greg loves his new job.  It makes me really happy to see him be so successful.  I know it is important to him, and I know he likes how it feels to be the boss.  I am proud of him for working so hard, taking calculated risks, and providing so well for his family.  Funny thing is, I never thought my husband would be successful.  I thought he would be smart but under paid for how hard he worked.  I just always assumed money would be tight.  It is hard for me to deal with in a weird sort of way.


Oh yeah, baby boy Hamlin is due 6 weeks from today.  More on him later. :)
