Good News/ Bad News

In an effort to prepare the children that BreAnne would be leaving now that Mike and I had returned, I said, "The bad news is that BreAnne is flying back to WA tomorrow." I was planning to follow with, "The good news is that she'll be back for Christmas."

Zander followed with, "The good news is that tomorrow night is Co-op!" ::snort:: I suppose he enjoys co-op days.

Here are some photos of our day.

Zander, as always, chose to go off in a corner with his books and ignore the impending farewell...

I told Bre that I didn't want any more back shots as she goes through security. I asked her to turn and give a princess wave right before she walked through. LOL

Mike chose Joe's for his birthday lunch. We'll do this again. YUM.

Sis: Oh How well we know the feelings of goodbyes. Actually rather hate them. Our heart and love are with you all.

Anti Marge, Celia, Laura and Laura's mom and us all ate yesterday after church at some small hole in the wall Italian place that was oh so good.... Only problem is after Dad/I started home the tears hit me and..... Marge going to the Philippines on her own, selling off everything and hopes to be there 10 yrs and she is a very young 72 now. Celia going back to Pi"s for live. Ouch.....

sorry I got so long winded.....

You and Bre are absolutelly beautiful.
