"We' re OK"

If you have ever been to our house you know that between our kitchen, living room and dining room you can go all the way around in a full circle.  This makes for a great race track when friends are over and pretty much always results in two things: everyone who is running gets yelled at and someone ALWAYS gets hurt! 

But to take this story one step further.  When Cora is in one part of the house and has to go to another part of the house it ALWAYS sounds something like this:  tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap THUD (silence) "I'm OK!"  tap tap tap tap tap tap.  I know that Mrs. Gaudioso would be so proud of my use of onomatopoeia.  But what I just described was Cora running in the house and then falling or running into something.  And know matter how many times she is told to stop running she still continues to run, get hurt and scream "i'm ok!" 

"Cast your care on the Lord and He will sustain you" Psalm 55:22

When we moved here 6 years ago Cora was 2 and not a care in the world.  Now we are leaving here and she is 8 and has every care in the world.  This week she has really started to verbalize her sadness about leaving.  The big days is Saturday and each passing day seems to be jammed packed with doing everything "one more time".  I know that she wants to be anxious about what it is like in Virginia but at the same time she yearns for what her life has been like here.  So many people have been such a wonderful part of her life here and know that you will be missed terribly.  But like everytime we hear a "THUD" we always here an "I'm ok"

Steve and I were in the kitchen yesterday and heard "THUD......I'm ok!"  Kind of makes me think that Saturday is going to be like a "THUD"......but know that "We're ok!"

Not goodbye SC....we will just say "See you Later!"
