Moving Day

It's one thing to know it.
But it's another thing to actually see it.






For 15 years Amy and Logan and their family have lived here. 

And yesterday was moving day. Or, moving week, as Logan calls it.

They asked if Téa could hang out with us for a few hours, 
so we took her out to dinner. 

 While we were sitting there waiting for our food I told her:
"Did you know that 15 years ago, all in the same month, your Daddy married your Mom, became a father to 5, became an RN, got a new job at the hospital, and bought a house and moved in?" 

She just smiled 
so I said, "Téa, this all happened the very same month!" 

Then she sort of woke up and realized what I just said, 
and tried to make sense of it. 


Then she announced, "But you said 5 kids....no, there's 7 kids."



"No, when your parents got married, there were 5 kids. 
You and Jonas didn't come until 5 years later, and then there were 7."


That's okay Téa, your Grandpa and I know about glitches in the brain once in a while.


But the move doesn't seem like any big deal to her. 

But someday it will be a big deal. 

She doesn't know it now, but she will spend the rest of her life 
looking back on memories of her first decade of life there. 

Or at least her parents will.
So many many good times there! 

Hard to believe this video was filmed EIGHT years ago!
Two are married with kids, and three are in college!

Love that part at the end where Logan falls down! Gave me a laugh. Are they moving locally? Downsizing?
