Aiden wearing hat

I Love This Song!

Today started out like an ordinary day, but then Christy got all silly and put this hat on me.

I’m kind of embarrassed about how the hat looks on me (see picture in my blog post), but I’m also excited, because it means that Christy sings a special song to me.

MercyMe!

Long before our move to Tennessee was even a thought, my favorite sister in the whole wide world (my only sister and sibling) bought eighth row, floor seat tickets to a MercyMe concert.

There is something special about the group MercyMe. I have been blessed by their music for years. The words always seem to heal my broken heart and minister to my soul with exactly what I need.

Christy, Aiden and Wildwing, the Anaheim Ducks mascot

But We Just Got Here!

Mom has been busy unpacking and decorating our new house for so long that I was confused when she pulled out the large suitcase and said, “We’re going on a trip.”

Turns out we were flying back to Southern California to visit my Auntie Cindy.

I got to meet the pilot of the plane, my new fur-cousin, and Wildwing, the Anaheim Ducks mascot. Plus, we went to the beach! Check out my blog post for lots of pictures of our trip to California.

Home at Last! (Part 4 of 4)

Are We There Yet? (Part 3 of 4)

Wherever we are, it’s cold. But worse than that, the wind blows so crisp, it cuts to my bones. I don’t take long to do my business because of it.

Today has been more tumble weeds and some pretty rock, but mostly, flat ground that goes on forever. Oh, how I want to be home!

How Much Longer? (Part 2 of 4)

This is one long road trip! I’ve been in the backseat of the car next to a pile of stuff that takes up the other half I usually stretch out on.

Today, in part 2 of my story, I share lots of pictures. There was this cold place with a giant hole in the ground. And another cold place with snow and rocks and tumbleweeds. Have you been to any of these places?

Aiden’s Cross-Country Move (Part 1 of 4)

Mom lifts my nose up to meet hers and plants a wet sloppy kiss on it. Humans kiss in a funny way. I prefer slurping.

Mom says we are about to begin a new chapter in our life. Dad says a prayer for God to keep us safe, starts the Jeep and off we go on a road trip.

Mom made me pose for lots of photos when we stopped at the Jelly Belly Factory, Pea Soup Andersen’s, and Dewar’s Candy Shop. Read my blog post and tell me which picture you like best!

TARDIS Flies!

Moving is not fun. I’ve had to let go of things I love…

… The colored walls in my house are now painted a neutral white.

… The huge succulent plants that won’t survive in Tennessee have been sold or given away to neighbors and friends.

But most of all, I had to let go of the TARDIS lending library. Learn how TARDIS got transported to its new home.
