Grrr! I am the ring bear!!

We are in our new house, and it is quite lovely. School is going exceptionally well. Zen is in good health, and things are calming themselves down into a beautiful routine...

Zen was the "Ring Bear" in Zach and Hannah's wedding this afternoon, and was a source of entertainment for all who were watching. (He kept picking up the flower petals for the flower girl, and trying to tell Hannah he liked her dress during the most solemn parts of the ceremony.) I suppose it is unreasonable to expect that anyone should get more attention than he does...

(I will post pictures soon)

Days Inn

Sorry for leaving you all hanging for so long. Right now, Zen and I are residents of the Pueblo Days Inn. We move into our new apartment tomorrow, but it has been a crazy, stressful, dramatic month. I am anxious for us to get into OUR home with OUR things, OUR favorite foods in the fridge, and most of all OUR routines.

It is hard to imagine how hard it is for toddlers to adapt to change, and I feel so badly that mine has had to adapt to so much.

He has moved out of his home, all his toys, his bed, (every single thing he owns, except for his clothes) are in storage. He has started a new daycare. He has moved in with friends of ours. He has been sick and had to stay in the hospital. He has been in daycare from 630am to 1130pm about 7 days a week, when I got a new job. He has had to deal with a mommy who lost a job. He has had to deal with finals week, no money, an increase in his daily medications to 5 prescriptions (some multiple times a day). Then, out of nowhere, had to move out of the home we improvised with friends, and stay on a new friend's couch. Now we are staying in a hotel waiting for a home.

Pray for him, he isn't eating really well, and is clingy and grumpy, and having a hard time behaving. I know this is hard for him, and he could use some love, and a lot of GOD...
