good byes

Two days before we left, we were surprised to come home from the beach and see three of our favorite families in our yard, with signs, to say good bye. It was very touching. They brought us dinner too, so we didn't have to worry about that. We always make friends wherever we go, but saying goodbye is SO hard. They are the best. 

After the friends left, we ate dinner, then I went over to see Katie and say goodbye to her. Goodbyes are really hard on her, and she made cry with all the hugs and cuddles I got that evening. I brought her flowers, and she drew me a picture. So sweet. 

Nothing left in the kid room, except mattresses and sheets and a very sleepy Hawken and Snow Baby.
