May 8, 1999

"This week I was sad because I said goodbye to my first friend Emily. I was confused when mommy and daddy put all of our things in large boxes. My crib even disappeared, and I had to sleep on the floor. I didn't even know we were going to be leaving. I learned to say 'Mama' when I'm hungry or sad and "Dada" when I am happy. Of course my daddy is biased about the times I say 'Dada.'

" I got to say goodbye to my Great Grandma and Grandpa Hulet this week. I won't be seeing them for a while."
