Moving time and growing girls

Sammy has no idea what he is in for. All the big sisters want to hold him. Emmy keeps saying "baby Sammy is so cuuuuuute" Dora always wants to hold him. Even Tessa wants in on the action. Hope their excitement continues.  

Emmy really is a unique spirit. I wish I had half the joy in life that she has. Everything is magic unicorn Pegasus. If ever a princess was born into a non royal family it was her. That kid acts like a princess. But not the snobby kind, the kind that would be benevolent as long as she had pretty dresses to wear. Her husband someday is gonna have a lot of needs to meet.  

So. My parents have a picture of us kids. All four boys sitting on a couch watching tv in our pajamas when I was about this age. We don't have tv. We have Internet. Netflix. Amazon Fire. And iPads. I guess things change and stay the same. 

 

No one loves animals more than this one. Foxy really takes abuse well. 

Packing for the move from league city to Richmond was a bit difficult for the kids. Look at Tessa and her bunny pile. So much excitement.  

 

So this is funny. We went out to dinner at the Greek Place in Kemah. Emmy and Tessa were being squirrels and whitney. Eli and Dora were good. I looked at Eli and Dora and said "you each get a thumb up today for your behavior. Thanks!"  Followed by my telling Emma and Tessa, "You each get a half thumb up." (Indicating they were being stinkers.l

Tessa looked at me and said, "Dad, you get a thumb AND a Pinky!"  

What a funny kid. 

 

Getting ready for the big move. Tessa lined up all her animals and was talking to them and explaining them we would be moving. 

 

Emmy saw me take a picture of Teasa's bed set up and wanted me to take a picture for the same thing. Funny. 

 

The day we sold our house, Carla had the three small ones. Eli and Dora and Bridget came down to Galveston for dinner. We ate at a seafood place then walked on the beech at dusk. We watched the spider  crabs come out of their homes. Eli and Dora didn't notice. But I watched the homeless set up sleeping places on the beech. Interesting dichotomy, homeless setting up a place to sleep, while we move from one palace to another, also homeless settling in for the night while the spider tabs get active. 

 

Look at how my little man is growing.
