As the beginning of March came upon us I realized that we only have about 5 more months here is Seattle. Wow. It is so hard to believe that our time here is almost through. It will be much harder to say goodbye than I ever anticipated. Mike and I are in the process now of figuring out how we want to do that and do it well. Seattle has been so much to us over the past three years and a sense of closure feel very needed, at least on my part. We quickly realized that Seattle is all the boys have ever known and leaving will be just has hard on them as it is on us. Lots to think about over the next several month...
Here is what we have left...

At this point I don't feel ready for all this. Although the past three years have been the hardest three we have endured, we have been so transformed by our time here. We will leave this place with such a sense of gratitude. We are different people individually, together and as parents. So...the journey continues...
