Goodbye!

We had to bid a temporary farewell to Dane and Hayden last week. Jon got a new job in Fort Worth, Texas, and they had to move very quickly. Dane and Hayden stayed with Memere and Pepere for a week while Jon and Susan house-hunted and explored schools and neighborhoods. So while they were there, I took the kids and went to visit, too.

It was bittersweet, but an emphasis on the sweet. We went to the pool, played board games, visited a local museum we used to go to all the time when the kids were younger, played more games, made catapults, and savored the time we had together.

Like Little Man says, "They're not disappearing! They're just moving! We'll see them again." And that's true. But we're still sad that we can't just get in the car and drive to visit them anymore. Say howdy to Texas for us, y'all, and let us know when you're ready for visitors!
