Big news and some new friends!

Yesterday we finally made it to a playdate! The first time we didn't have appointments, therapies, or sickies that prevented us from going. We met a bunch of people that we didn't even know yet. I can't believe how many DS families there are so close to us. Of course I forgot my camera, so Kristen sent me some pics.
This one is so cute!


Arina's first time with a big group of kids!

Look how sweet they all are. A pretty good pic of so many kids, considering we were trying to get them all to sit still for 30 seconds!


We have some big news in our house!
It looks like daddy is going to be able to transfer to California!!
I've never been so terrified and excited at the same time. Don't get me wrong, I know its the right thing for our family, and I'm definitely excited. But moving Jax so far is not going to be a small feat! HR sent us the 3 insurance companies that they offer in California. Of course I don't know any of them! I need to look into them very closely to find the one that will cover all of Jax needs. I need one that has not only good deductibles and low out of pocket max (Because Jax will definitely hit that!) but also one that has doctors and hospitals we need, and good homecare service to get all of Jax equipment. Oh man is this going to be daunting. But when its all said and done, it will be a far better place for him. Much lower altitude, and the ocean air will help his severely damaged lungs so much! Not to mention better childrens hospital's.

If we can keep our insurance here until we are all moved, then Ray will go down mid March, and I will stay here with the boys until they get out of school for the summer. Also I need to stay to sell the house. Hopefully it sells by then. I'm not sure of the market here right now. But I don't think its too terrible. I am a little worried about being a single mom for 4 months or so, but I have older boys that can help out a lot. Daddy will still have most Fridays off, so there will be times that he can fly home on Thursday night, and stay until Sunday. And of course we'll go down and visit him as well!
The boys are very excited. They have some good friends in California, and Mondo's "girlfriend" is there as well. I'm excited because I've lived in the same city my whole life, and I'm ready for a change. I'm worried about leaving my mom, only because when we leave, all of her grandkids will be out of state. We will be able to come back often to visit though.
Wish us luck on our tasks the next few months. Mainly finding a fantastic pediatrician, oh how I'm going to miss her the most. She has family close to were we will be living, can't she just move with us?? She has been through so much with us and Jax. She was my counselor when our family was struggling with life, when Jax was so sick. I've sobbed to her when we thought we were going to lose him. I consider her a close friend, and I'm really going to have a hard time leaving her!
