We made it

I am Lisa in Illinois now!

We are so tired. We were so sad to leave our friends. We are excited and scared but happy to be here and looking forward to whatever comes next.

One funny Ellie story: We were getting in the car and I wasn't in yet and Ellie yelled from the back seat, "Mommy, get your butt in the car!" I gave her a stern look and said, "You don't order me around and talk to me that way." She immediately smiled and asked me so softly and sweetly, "Mommy? Will you please get your butt in the car?"
