Zekie Gets Teeth & Sunny Days

Zeke has been changing and growing so much over these past few weeks. Last Saturday his first 2 teeth came in on the bottom. And since we got to Grammie and pop pops he's been reading books, dancing and singing. I'm serious. He's say "buh...buh" (book) and points to the pages in the book while babbling the whole time. And last night while faith was playing the piano he was on his knees and started dancing. Then to top it off while eating breakfast this morning he was singing jiggle bells with me. Each time I sang a verse I would stop and then he would wiggle and dance in his high chair and sing, then I would sign the next verse. Such a smart cookie!
I think this has been the sunniest winter I have had in 17 years. Nyssa is sunny most days and on the days where it's overcast the clouds are still high and split up. Bremerton has to be one of the most darkest places in the world, other then Alaska of course :) One thing is for sure I will miss many friends from that part but I never want to live there again. I'm done with dark wet winters. It makes my mind start to melt just writing about it. I am so thankful that we get to live in a place where there will be sun. I'm actually not that excited about year round summer though. I love fall and winter and crisp air. I love seeing the seasons change. So that part I'll miss. I lived in New Hampshire till I was 15. The seasons there are wonderful. The winters are snowy and cold but also sunny and crisp. I think it's the best of all 4 seasons.
With 4 boys though, year round summer will mean endless days of riding bikes and walks after dinner. It will be a nice change from these last 17 years in the pacific NW.
We just have one week left till we leave for our small little rock. I'm getting anxious, I really want the boys to get to their new home. We've been talking about moving for 10 months now and I think they are ready for it to finally be real. I know I am!
