You are growing up fast and things are changing around us almost as quickly. We have moved to Charlottesville from Richmond and are working on setting up a new little place as we get ready to start work, internship and school for you soon. You are adjusting pretty well. You are having trouble sleeping at night and want your mommy, but that is understandable with all the changes going on. You love your new room and said "thank you Daddy for my sheeps" painted on the ceiling (they were already there but it was too cute how you thanked him). Grama and Papa were here to help us move and they worked so hard to get us ready and help us pack. We had lots of friends that helped us the day of the move too. It was such a blessing.
We are busy exploring Charlottesville and today we visited your new school. You met some new friends but keep asking when we get to play with our friends from Richmond. Every time we pull up to our new house, you say "This is our new house in Charlottesville" and we appreciate the cute reminder. I often need to remind myself of where we are these days and where we call home. You remind me of how important it is in the midst of change to keep certain things the same. We will remember to say "I love you" often, stay connected with those we love, to call old friends and we all will remember that with each other we are truly home.
Life will change but this remains the same, Ava Kate, with us, you always have a place to call home. I love you.
Love,
Mommy
