My nieces moved to SoCal the day after Lucas was born. I haven't really realized how much I miss them until now. On our first walk with the baby, we passed by the school that is now open, just 3 blocks from our house. They have a huge field of grass, monkey bars, four square, a map of the US on the blacktop, and swings. I really wish they were here for us to enjoy them. When they lived 30 min away, that would have been something really cool to do with them. Now that they are 6 hours away, 30 min from Disneyland and 5 minutes to the boardwalk at HB, it doesn't seem so cool. I have to catch myself when I drive by the exit to their house on the freeway when I think, I should pick up the girls, or when I think of some cool thing to take them to. I have some great memories with those girls. I really miss them. It makes my heart hurt. And in this month, them being gone has kind of made my brother being gone 5 years on the 24th, that much more sharp of a pain. Here they are on their first day of school this year. I am really happy and excited for them and their new life in SoCal. They have great parents and great family down there. Lots of cousins and aunties and uncles. They are going to have a great time. I will keep their toothbrushes that I wrote their names on on standby. I am holding out for another visit someday.
