I will miss the kindness of the Venezuelan physician who, to console a sobbing Karis after her shots, performed a funny dance with a pen and created "magic" bubbles out of soap and water.
I won't miss the hysterics caused by the aforementioned shots. Two shots a day for three days in a row. Ouch! That's one brave girl and one weak-kneed mama.
I will miss our yard when we move. Most missed: the Black-Eyed Susans and the huge magnolia tree that casts a long shadow in the afternoon.
I won't miss the feeling that I live in a "transitional" home. Over the last 10 years I've lived in 9 homes in 6 different cities. That's a whole lot of temporary home decorating. I can't wait to make some permanent decisions in our new space. My new motto: "Move in. Stay awhile." Hopefully a long while.
Update: A photo for you, Alyce. Enjoy! (See Alyce's comment.)

Why has Karis needed so many shots? How terrible!
She has an ear infection that is resistant to other antibiotics we've tried. This antibiotic is really strong but can only be administered as a shot. It's been a rough two days!
Congrats on your new home, Alina! So exciting! I SO get the transitional, transitory home life, and like you, I am so glad to be feeling more permanently settled. Can't wait to see photos!
How about some pictures of the lazy susans you will miss, and the magnolia tree. I just love the way you describe things.
That doctor reminds me of Patch Adams. What a wonderful doctor.
YEAH! for new homes. I can't wait to see pictures of it and how you end up decorating the space. Did I just use the word "space"? I hate that word!
Ha! Corrin, you did use the word "space." But in your defense, I used it first. Blame me! :-)
For Karis...
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Love,
Evie and Annie!!!
I love that picture of the reflection on the table. Very nicely done.
has your nikon returned home??
Thanks for the picture. I hope soon you will have pictures of your new place. Don't you love how bossy I am, giving you new assignments?
Hi Alina, I'm still patiently waiting to hear from you and Matt. It's been a long time. Are you still very busy? What's happening with Matt's Fire Academy? Is he onboard an ambulance working as an EMT-1?
