Leaving Washington was hard. The unknown future can be hard. Yet I am so grateful for the time I had with my Mom. Raquel shared precious moments with her Nana and Grandpa. We just were. No pressure to do or say the right or maybe not right thing. We will carry the memories of Nana cuddling Bells and teaching her how to play with Osa. The endless hours of play with Grandpa and the amazing house built out of card board boxes.

Back in Texas I am playing catch up in my classes in between neighborhood bike rides, clay shooting and basking in the sun. We are gearing up for our move back to Big Piney, Wy. The date is undecided. I am excited to return. It feel so much like home to me there.  Bells often asks about when are we going back to our green house, when she will see her boys, and Chelsea. Yet I am enjoying the sun and I know Bells want to finish her swim classes. 

Meanwhile during all the daily to do's we have discover some great kid friendly music by Elizabeth Mitchell. I recommend all her albums.

Other of Bells favorites are Taylor Swift and the Beatles. (which I am debating if they are appropriate. She likes to belt the song out and maybe the content is a little old?)
