Goodbyes

So the reason for our short road trip this weekend was to say goodbye to an old friend of mine. Chelsea and I went to college together and both majored in Deaf Ed...therefore we had A LOT of classes together. We were also in a sign and mime ministry group and just had a blast hanging out during college. They are moving to East Asia to go to school to learn Mandarin as well as Mandarin sign language. They'll be there for at least three years so they had a going away party today. Chels and I didn't see each other much when we lived in MA and they lived in CO, but when we get together it's like no time has passed at all. They came to stay with us in March of 2006 and the kids really had a blast getting to know each other...especially Joshua and Cailey! They have been pen pals since then and HOPEFULLY we'll be able to continue that (although who knows what the mail system will be like with that great of distance). Even though we didn't get to see each other much here in the states, I'll miss you Chels! BITE:) We'll be counting down the years until you are home!

The kids did MUCH better posing for a pic this time:)
I can hardly believe how much they have grown in 1 1/2 years!
