We are moving toooooo......

CLEVELAND, OHIO!!!!!!!

 

 Crazy right! That is what we thought when we heard the news, the most common question we hear is "isn't Ohio land locked?". Ohio has a big lake (Lake Erie) to the north of it and that is where we will be stationed. Wade will be doing law enforcement and search and rescue, and ice rescue in the winter. We are still trying to figure out the logistics of a huge move with 4 kids and 2 dogs, but hopefully we will start having more concrete plans soon. We are hoping to be heading that way end of May/beginning of June!
What we know so far about Cleveland is :

it has one of the top 10 children's hospitals in the nation for GI (huge answer to prayer for Kyle)

it is home of the Rock and Roll Hall of fame (which is right next to the USCG station)

it is home to the Cleveland Browns (who's stadium is next to the USCG station)

it is 3 1/2 hours from Niagara Falls (I have always wanted to go there)

it snows there in the winter (the kids are VERY excited)

it is three hours time difference from the west coast

it is over 2500 miles from Brookings

This week we were learning about G so today we made GOOP, with starch and glue :)

 Last night was the pinewood derby at cub scouts, Nanny came down to hang out. Josh's tank was not the fastest but it was pretty cool looking, Wade and Josh put a lot of work into it.

 We have also been starting the task of making our house not "ours" anymore and painting walls back white. Oh the joys of moving!

 We put the trailer on the market and are hoping it sells soon.

Other than that we have been cleaning and purging stuff getting ready for a move. We have been in Brookings for 4 years and added 2 kids to our household while we were here so we have accumulated STUFF! So we are pairing down and prepping for our new adventure!
