Just a quick check-in. In the past week: 

Yaya and Didi came to visit Berkeley.

Jacob had his last day of school at Mustard Seed preschool. (blue shirt getting hugged)

 

Daniel (and KD and others) graduated from Seminary with his Master of Divinity (and I'm hoping to get the better pictures soon. woof).

Daniel received a call from Augsburg Lutheran Church in Winston-Salem, NC beginning June 15th!

Jacob left Berkeley with Yaya and Didi to avoid the boredom and the overwhelming component of packing up his life.

Thomas and we parents packed and cleaned with the help of our sweet friends (definitely loads of Thomas love and cleaning assistance from KD, John, and their parents).

Wednesday at 1pm, we drove away from Berkeley and our incredible community. tears.

Thursday, just in time for dinner, we made it to Phoenix where Jacob treated us like he'd only been gone for an hour! Earlier, Tally and baby Dani (cousin who is 6 wks younger than Thomas) arrived and Jacob was already in love with this baby girl (thank you Rosie Roberts and Roman Worzala Dumke for teaching Jacob how to appropriately love on baby girls).

Saturday, Steven Fuller has arrived and everyone is getting excited because...

Sunday, Daniel gets ordained!!

Crazy. Emotional. Our children our incredible as are the people who keep loving us and helping us- from those helping us leave in berkeley, those helping us transition while here in Phoenix, and those ready to help-us adjust to life back in NC.
