Big...HUGE news!!!

We are moving! Not just across town... but across the state and back to baseball! We are moving to Corpus Christi! K-man is going to be the Director of Facilities and Stadium Operations for the Corpus Christi Hooks. They're the double A ball club for the Astros. It's an incredible oppurtunity for K and we're so excited we can hardly stand it! There is so much to do now though it's a little overwhelming. Getting ready to put the house on the market, finding a school for Pook and day care for Diesel, finding a house in Corpus, and doing most of this while being without K for a little while. He'll be down there by March and we'll stay behind until the end of the school year. Wow! It's all still a little surreal! I'll do my best to keep you posted on the developments as they happen.

The Diesel is now walking...everywhere! He's also got a total of 4 teeth now. Two on top and two on bottom. He looks like such a little boy now. He'll be 14 months old next week and time is just flying by. Oh, and have I mentioned that the boy eats like a horse. I shudder to think what our food bill is going to be like when he hits his teens.

The Pookster is still loving pre-k and has recently begun having sleepovers both here and at her friends' houses. It really is the cutest thing. She excited about moving to the beach. Although, to tell the truth, I don't think she's really grasped the concept of "moving." Pray that this transition will be smooth for her. I'm not the least bit worried about her making new friends there, but she's going to miss the ones here terribly much.

So that's our big news! WOW!

Wow Leslie that is great news, hope it all works out well for your family! Sounds like your kids are growing up fast. I saw one of your LO's in the Picleberrypop gallery the other day, so thought I'd pop over and say Hi!

Les--congratulations! welcome back to baseball--it's a great place to be, huh?!
I'll keep you in my prayers over the next few months. I've done what you are doing many times and know what the stress it can bring. It's very exciting, though, and those experiences often overshadow the stress.
