Well yet again we have had an incredible turn of events in our family. Everybody knows who the Heimlichs are, right? If you don't- they are my adopted family. I always say that I have two families. My biological family and then there are the Heimlichs, my adopted family. I lived with them after Ruby was born, they took care of Ruby for those years that I worked at Chili's. They have been an integral part of my life and of my family's life. Anyway, Tim and I invited them over for dinner last week to tell them the news and ask for their counsel about what would be the best decision for our family. They, last month, bought a retirement home in Bass Lake which is 10 miles or so from the entrance of Yosemite, and they offered it to us to live in until we can get ourselves financially stable. The only thing was if Tim can get a transfer to the Chili's in Fresno, about an hour away. We found out that he can!!! We are moving, AHH! We are moving to Bass Lake into a 6 bedroom cabin in the woods. Can you believe it? Amazing! This will be so good for our family. Ruby will start school in a small town where hiking and horseback riding are the norm. I'm just so thrilled and amazed. Last week we were biting our nails praying that doors would open and here we are week later moving in June to the mountains near Yosemite where I have spent so many of my summers. SO... if any of you are planning to visit the Yosemite area you need to visit us starting in July. And Cayce I know for a fact that you go to Yosemite. I saw the JH blog, too cute! Seriously, you have a beautiful son. I see that he has his mom's sparkling eyes no doubt. And I saw those thighs, obviously he's a good eater.
Amber, thanks for the affirmation that our job is stressful. It's nice to hear every once in a while. How's the sleeping through night thing with the little one? Is she making it through the night? Luke is doing fine right now, although we are transitioning Ruby back into the room so we'll see how that goes. We are celebrating his first birthday tomorrow. I can't believe that a whole year has gone by. There were times it didn't feel fast enough, esp. those many night feedings, but all in all it's been quick. And now he's walking about 80% of the time. He's a boy on the move.
Keep you posted on the move!
Love,
Danielle

Congrats on the big move Danielle! Wow, lots of life changes coming your way:-) I am excited for your new start. And with all those bedrooms, you could have a few more babies!! Anyhow, I'm glad Luke is sleeping well. Ella is sleeping through the night now, we are soooo happy about that. I would absolutely love to come visit you. Can't say when that would be, but hopefully soon. Love you lots, Amber
danielle-sorry to respond so late. yes, i love yosemite and the area you are moving to sounds perfect for awhile. your kids can grow up like tom sawyer and huck finn. isn't there that camp called oakhurst nearby to that area? if so, you could possible connect up to find some kind of church community there? i think it's great you guys are getting away from good ol' southern cali! anyway, congrats on baby #3-are you sick at all? omg, i was soo sick until 17 weeks with little buckaroo. take care,kc
