Cleveland???

It's official, we are moving to Cleveland.  I've been telling more and more people about this over the past week and the response is always the same:  a pause and then "Cleveland?" and then they usually don't know what to say next.  Some people admit that they are not exactly sure where it is on the map, and some people are confused because they don't understand why there would be Coast Guard there.  It's been pretty amusing.  I admit I was not happy when I first got the news, especially since it was the third day of being snowed in here in Seattle.  I've accepted the fact that that's where we are going, like it or not.  I am focusing on the good things: low cost of living, closer to family (even a few relatives there), and four distinct seasons (unlike Seattle, with a great summer and then 8 or 9 months of cold).  I am really looking forward to a family road trip this summer and a whole new part of the country to explore!

Here's a few fun pics of the kids!
