So Long, Not Farewell

I know we've known for several years now - but somehow it still doesn't seem quite real. Aunt Anne and Uncle Patrick are moving to Washington State. Tonight was the night to get the family together and to say "so long."



We loved visiting with Aunt Ruth and Cousin David. Aunt Ruth read so many cool books to the twins - even some that were once David's (many moons ag0).






Aunt Martha and Uncle Tom were there to enjoy time together. Uncle Tom can be quite the ham (and the kids ate it up!). Aunt Martha shared her love for shopping by giving each of the kids a new stuffed bear. Awesome gift that will be enjoyed for sure!



And Mom and Dad had a great time too. It was nice to get out and visit - but a bittersweet occasion to be celebrating.




Somehow in all of the excitement - we have pictures of EVERYONE except Anne and Patrick!
