final WA moments

Our move has been all consuming.  Even in my "normal" life, I like to make lists and to always be productive, efficient, and prepared.  I have had to accept the chaos over the past month and to remind myself that I have two young children who still need to be fed, entertained, celebrated, and attended to...! There have been plenty of moments when I've had to put down the box or tape and choose the PRESENT over the future! 

The three of us made a final visit to the market (Cam is in the backpack behind me).

 Here are a few favorite cell-phone photos of some of the fun we have been having this early Spring.

My beautiful girl held on to the Home Depot shopping list while rocking my sunglasses.  

If Sophie is 3 going on 16, Cameron is 10 months going on 5 years. 

Their friendship is blossoming....

He looks up to her just like my brother looked up to me
(haha...just checking if my bro still reads this blog).

Cam was just so thankful that the "other baby" came to the park this time to give him a much-deserved break.

Her new favorite name: Tammy. Her new favorite animal: a roaring Dinosaur.
In this photo, she was Tammy the roaring Dinosaur. 

This isn't your average box fort; it's a castle of cardboard built from 10+ years of Seattle living.  (Moments later, Sophie ended up pushing a box to trap Cameron because he allegedly scared the fairies.  And Cam ended up eating a corner of cardboard.  A big corner. Yes, he chewed himself to freedom.) 

This coming week brings more final WA moments: Sophie's final days at her preschool, our final evenings with best friends, our final nights in this special home, our final trips to some of our favorite Seattle-spots... and then the great push-off of 2013 occurs! Stay tuned.
