We applied for a house. It is in Kent WA. It will be roughly
a 45 min commute for me but should provide some valuable reading time that I otherwise
do not get. The house is in the woods a bit, it sits on a acre & a half.
there is an apple tree, a plum tree & a cherry tree in the back yard.
Georgia is very excited. Dwayne still has not had any luck with work. No one
has even called him back yet. He seems discouraged though he is trying to stay
positive. We are excited to see his folks at the end of October. Hopefully we
will have the big house so they can stay with us. We went bowling with the
cousins over the weekend  for Emilee’s
birthday. Everyone had a really great time. It was the first time the kids had
gone bowling. It was quite a sight to see the two of them blank faced staring
at the lanes once we got inside. They were in complete amazement. It was
awesome! They did really great, Georgia even picked up a spare, Can you believe
that!

If we don't find a place soon I am going to lose my mind.
The pressure is killing me.

    Unfortunate news. I cannot download any of the pictures we have been taking because I let the packers pack up the cord to the camera. I am going to go to the store tonight to see if I can find a stick that will read my memory card or something like that to get the pictures out to you.
Dwayne has taken a few shots on his fancy new phone : instinct

Here they are:
These are from the moving day, Dwayne found some old sombreros in the garage.

The kids loved getting on their motorcycle

Georgia looks like she is almost ready for it

Pre-flight arrangements:  I think the flight would have been smoother if I could have transported them this way...but only the dogs got so lucky.

This is a pic in the apartment that we are in. The kids got up on morning and did not wake Dwayne up. The layout of the apartment segregates the master bedroom from the rest of the house which provided the perfect cover for mischief while Dwayne slept.
So the day before, I had gone out a bought some croft supplies, glue, construction paper etc. which was scattered around the dining room table. They woke up this particular morning and went to the table to craft. Then at some point, Georgia decided to give Dylan a little hair cut. She cut his bangs off leaving his side curls pretty much intact. It was like a weird mullet. Dwayne has a picture. I will add it at some point. At any rate, then Georgia decided she needed a trim too and turned the scissors on herself, cutting her bangs off. I let them run around for a week before taking any action. They looked like little EMO kids with chopped up hair. I cried.  Yesterday, I decided to buy some clippers & buzz Dylan's head. It went well. He was very glad, for whatever reason, I have no idea. But I cried the whole time & then off & on throughout the rest of the night. It was like the end of him being a baby. Now he has officially become a little boy.

Isn't he cute?

We have arrive in Seattle, safe & sound.

It was quite a wild trip. There were delays with the “mom,
kids & dogs flight” and there were delays with the “dad, turtles &
plants road trip”, but we made it.

We are out at Mercer Island in temporary housing. It is
beautiful. Good Lord it is amazing how beautiful it is.

The kids have been picking blackberries everyday turning
fingers & t-shirts purple with juice. The kids love going to Uncle Doug’s
house, playing with the cousins. As I get back into the sing I will surely post
stories of the adventures.

The 1966 tempest arrived Monday at Doug’s, and Tuesday there
was a complaint note, so Dwayne went down to move it to the garage area. I knew
it would not be long.  It is going to be
great to see it come alive, as I have only seen it as a rusty old green junker.
I see the vision.

Yesterday, Georgia decided it was high time for a hair cut
for her & Dylan. Now Dylan’s curls are gone & she has bangs. I have to
admit it could have been much worse, if you didn’t know you wouldn’t be able to
tell.

In other news, I realized recently that I deleted every
single infant photo of my dear son before I left KY, therefore  not retrievable at this point. We are now
missing April 2006 – March 2007. I have reached out to my step-mom Brenda
because I think I burned all the photos on disk for her to do a scrap book for
the kids.  HIGH HOPES for a good result.
