After telling him where we are going, Lance's first question was:
"Are there fireflies there?" "There are." "Yes!" His eyes were sparkling. As long as it's got fireflies, Lance is great with it.
Jace is okay with it, too. He would have liked to stay in Utah with his friends, family, and the mountains like his dad (not to mention a cabin and hunting), but he's looking forward to the fireflies too, and we're going to live by Adam-Ondi-Ahman!
Lance keeps asking, "Where are we moving again?" He's already weeded through his "box" that he's been packing since the beginning of the year. (I gave him two boxes: throw away and keep, and he diligently went through every preschool paper and knick-knack and thoughtfully saved or did away with. It kept him busy for about 2 hours!)
St. Louis is only months away. Jared's orientation is on June 21st. Jace's last day of school is June 8th (Happy Birthday, Mom!), and we hope to get there sometime soon after that.
'Til then, I'll be singing-
We'll find a place, Which God for us prepared... Far away, in the Midwest....
