**If you are brand new to my blog, please scroll down and read my “Welcome Cleveland” entry.:)
I think I’ve used that title before, but I decided to recycle it because it fits the moment! I am on day 4 of non-stop packing, wrapping up the house, and running after the boys. The phone rings all day, the doorbell keeps going off, and I feel like I’m inside an Erma Bombeck book…I need a bubble bath!!:) Although it would be wonderful to have movers come in and do everything for us, I have to admit that packing has been therapeutic in some ways. There are so many boxes that I packed away and looking inside brings back some great memories. Especially, sorting through Gabriel’s infant clothes. He’s turning 4, two weeks from today, and just recently we bought size 10 shoes for his back-to-school wardrobe. Sitting there, holding the tiny size 2 loafers, made me realize all the little miles my little boy has accumulated over the past four years. With Grant, I am packing baby items that he never even had a chance to wear! Babies grow up so fast and he skipped right over a few stages and now it’s too late for the newborn outfits!L Needless to say, it’s been a great opportunity to look back and get sappy.:)
Anyway, my time is up so I better finish up for tonight. We are leaving Friday so my blog will be a bit slow for a day or two. We’ll be up and at em’ soon though, and I am already mentally archiving some ideas and things I want to post. Also, thank you to everyone who posted a comment or e-mailed me. Your feedback has been incredible and I can’t thank you enough!!

Hi Brooke,
Your last message brought tears to my eyes as I read about you dealing with the changes and memories you have already with your 4 year old. I have two boys myself, (raising boys has been great!), who are now 23 and 19. Talk about memories! Sometimes I would do anything to have them 4 again. But life goes on and we have our memories… so cherish them, the memories you have already and all those yet to come!
I have listened to the FISH since they began, in my car and at work all day. I love the station and I love Robin. I am sure I will love you just as well!
Take care as you are closing a chapter in your life and starting a new one. God is good and He will sustain you through all the changes. Hope you get your bath soon!
