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...

good job on the blog! glad 1/2 of you are settled now- but how sad about Pete's stomach bug. Glad he's doing better. The space museum sounds awesome! If we ever visit it would definitely be on our list of things to check out. Good luck with the rest of your move! Denise McEntee

The tooth fairy that visits our house is probably on the high end of the spectrum in terms of payment but she realizes that they only have 20 or so teeth that they actually lose and this over MANY years. Our tooth fairy is nice enough to grace the children with $5 for each tooth. She also LOVES the little tooth pillow from Build a Bear that they can hang on their doorknob.
