hi there! i’ve been letting mommy do all the writing because i’ve been busy! busy sometimes sleeping, sometimes eating, sometimes i just don’t feel like doing anything, and then sometimes i’m playing!

we’re moving away to washington where daddy bought us a new house. everyone keeps telling me that they’re gonna have to pack up my stuff too, so we can have it at our new house. it’s hard for me to see them pack some things, and today i saw them pack my winnie-the-pooh toy and even though i know why, i cried. everything is so busy right now, and i don’t feel good and it’s very hard to deal with it all. but i’m trying.

grandma and aunt deanna are here helping mommy and daddy get everything ready to go. and grandma sue came by to say hi today too. i like having my family together with me, especially having daddy here with mommy and me!

and guess what?! i broke my tibia and had to get a cast put on! i think maybe it would have been neat at another time in my life, but right now it’s kinda hard because my left leg is the one that’s been hard to use and now my right leg has a cast on it. i haven’t really been walking around at all, because it’s been hurting. i even asked mommy for some medicine ’cause it was hurting–and you all know how much i hate taking medicine! i was glad i did though, because it did help me feel better a little bit. so i tried walking again for the first time since i got my cast which i call my “pink boot”. i have to hold onto something, like the couch and i’m wobbly, but i know i need to try. sometimes i get scared though when i lose my balance and even if i don’t fall, i do cry. mommy and daddy and grandma are doing their best to help me and take care of me.

well, the big truck comes tomorrow and takes EVERYTHING out of our house! and mommy, grandma and i are flying to washington on sabbath morning! daddy is gonna drive a car and meet us there. i sure hope he gets there soon, and then we’ll all be together like we used to be without daddy leaving for all week and only seeing him on weekends.

i’m going to miss my friends in california. i’m going to miss our church and going to sabbath school with my friends in cradle roll. i’ll miss the wild animal park and the zoo. i want to say thank you to all of the people who have been so helpful to us, especially since i got sick. i hope we get to come back and see you again someday.

well, i’d better go and eat dinner! even though mommy says she doesn’t know when she’ll be able to update everyone since the computer is packed up, i know I’LL be updating you guys myself over the next couple of days and mommy will be so surprised!

bye bye! *waves*
