Good Bye Katie

It was a sad day in the Tolman family last Friday. Our little dog Katie died. We have no idea how but we found her cold and dead that evening. We burried her in Oma amd Opa's yard and the kids picked out rocks to place on her grave. We all said what we loved about Katie and a little prayer. I have had many pets in my life leave this world but this one was hard mostly because my children really struggled with it. Andie(our boxer) misses her the most. Our pets truly become part of our family and as much as I groaned about Katie chewing everyones shoes and screen doors and well anything she could I will miss the joy she brought into my family's life. In this photo the kids are sitting on the rocks they helped pick out to place on Katie's grave.

Feels like Home!

I (with the help of my not so little brother David) packed up the Uhaul and moved me and the kids to Pocatello. As I was driving this huge truck with my toes (I have such short legs) and no cruise control, I crossed the Utah Idaho boarder and I had an overwhelming feeling come over me. I was Home! Idaho is Home! So there I am driving this Uhaul with Parker and Ginny asleep next to me crying my eyes out. It was a good cry to know I am home. This past week had many mixed emotions, I said good bye to some amazing people who are so very important in my life, and in the same breath I was so ready to be back with Randy. Parker woke up last week crying asking when are we going to be a family again? I told him we are always a family and he said no mom when are we all going to live together again? I am so greatful it was only 3 weeks we had to live apart. So now that 3 weeks of crying and packing by myself is a memory and we are here in Pocatello at my mom's house. It is so beautiful up here with all the leaves turning colors. The dogs love running everywhere....so do the children. Parker started school yesterday and loves it, now I just need to find a preschool for Ginny. It feels so good to be calm and settled.
