Saying Our Farewells

Saying goodbye.  It's kind of a trend around here these days...  But as long as we have people here, whether it be a long time or just a short visit, we'll take it!  We soaked up our time with Herrmann fam while they were here.

There were plenty of hikes to go around!

As well as a trip to the beach.

We haven't been there since last summer and it's one of those things where it's about 50/50 on whether or not it's worth it.  It's a lot of work to haul a bunch of little kids and all the things to the beach.  But we usually come back saying we were glad we went!

Naptime on the beach.  Kinda wish I coulda done that!

But really my favorite part of beach days is the food.  All the fresh lobster and shrimp you could want.  Sooooooo tasty!!!

It was such a hoot watching Weston and Tucker play together.  When we were together before we all went on furlough, they weren't really into each other.  But the giggles and goofy antics coming from the two of them this time around was hilarious!  Really loud at times, but hilarious:)

We have friends for life.

Just yesterday we had another sad farewell to Carrie.  She's another friend for life.  She has been an amazing friend, sister, co-worker, and auntie during our time here.  It's time for her to move on from her life here though, and she will be deeply missed.  The good news about Carrie is that she lives less than an hour away from our home base!  So we hope to see her on the regular in the future.

In between the goodbyes, my parents came for a visit and grandma had matching dinosaur apparel in tow!  Dad spent a couple days here before going to do some work in Cayes.  Mom has been just hanging out with us and dad is planning to come up for one more day this week before they head home on Thursday.  It's been so good to have them here!

Well, its supposed to be rest time right now but the sounds coming from the other end of the house indicate that it's pretty much over.  There's also sounds indicating that Tucker has finally figured out how to climb out of his bed by himself.  Shucks.  Oh and I just heard Tanner, too.  They're all up.  It's over.  Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Until next time...
