First Steps

The great journey has started...

Pete and Nick arrived in Tulsa on Monday. Pete started work, and Nick started school, today. As if the stress of this crazy move wasn't enough, some nasty stomach bug latched onto Pete and hit him while they were trying to take in a Tulsa Drillers baseball game Monday night. So they spent the rest of that evening in the emergency room, as he was so sick that he was passing out. Welcome to Tulsa!

Fortunately, they let him go, and he was well enough to take Nick to the Air and Space Museum yesterday, so they could actually do something fun together. Nick put up with the whole thing amazingly well, and couldn't say enough about the museum. "They had real spaceships that we could go inside and push buttons and stuff!" And 2 sky shows. I have a feeling we'll be going there a lot.

Life does go on, major disruption or not:
1) Amelia has learned to talk on the phone now. Hard to remember that this kid wasn't even talking yet 15 months ago!
2) Nick turned 7 today, and finally has his first loose tooth! Which brings up the question, what does the tooth fairy pay these days? Anyone??

As for me (Sarah), I'm just packing, packing, packing...
