Hmmm, somehow I thought it would be bigger. OK, so this isn't really Indiana, but that was the announcement Casey made as he was putting these blocks together this morning. As he was playing he looked up and exclaimed, "Mommy! This is Indiana, and I am moving to my new house in Indiana." It was a bit of a relief to hear that he has some understanding of everything going on around here, and that he seems to be OK with all the "newness". Things are progressing as we cross more and more details of moving off our list, and the closer we get the harder it becomes to think about the reality of leaving this house, this city.
Equally hard to leave will be our neighbors, who we have developed a genuine friendship with, not to mention Casey LOVES playing with them all. He's become sorta' like Norm from "Cheers" - when he walks outside they all shout "Casey!". Saturday night the kids got to stay up late and play in their inflatable pool. It was one of those great summer nights - a spontaneous gathering of friends where the kids chased each other and caught fireflies. We will miss these occasions immensely. 
We celebrated Father's Day on Sunday, and Casey & Rob celebrated the Card's win in the College World Series by playing a little T-ball in the backyard. Connor watched from the sidelines with that look in his eye that said, "If I could walk I'd go over there and knock one out of the yard.", and no doubt he will be before too long.
