One of the reasons we moved to Tulsa, was to be close to Tarajean, Paul and Gavin. This is a blessing every day. Even on the days when we are not in touch, we are close enough to be 'in touch.' Such a difference this knowing makes.
Living close gives us the opportunity to spend quality time with Gavin. This weekend, for example. Tj and Paul are celebrating their anniversary and Jeff and I are on Babka and Hempi detail. We love these times. Sleeping in the 'big bed' or camping out on the floor in front of the fire, making SLIME or scented play dough, creating Valentine's for Gavin's classmates, fixing and eating meals together, watching PBS's Dinosaur Train or Disney's Planes. These are just a few of the many adventures we will share with Gavin.
Only a few months shy of five-years-old, we will squeeze as many experiences into this adorable four-year-old's life. Today's adventures will become tomorrows' memories.

That is so wonderful! Sniff! Sniff! I hope to be able "in the future" to spend summers in the Northwest to spend more time with the family....
I hear ya', Jessica! Thanks for the sweet comment. I thought of you when I posted this. I knew when Gavin was born and we were living in Alabama that I wanted to be able to spend more time with this little guy. Had no idea we would actually move to Tulsa. Guess that it really helped to put that 'thought' out there! Here's to future summers and more time with family!!
