It's so hard to say goodbye. . .

The McBrides have left to begin their ministry in San Diego (http://www.harborpc.org/v2/). We are very sad to see them go. Here are some snapshots from our last days together.
Ridley takes the wheel!

Annika and Lauren had to make sure the car seats were in working order.

This is one of 3 pictures of Mandy and me from the last 3 years. All 9,765 other photos are of our children.





Joseph's going to be a great big brother.

Our last few moments together and Annika says. . . "May I have a snack?"








Annika is battling her fears. . .trying so hard to have a good time.


Boys will be boys. . .


Pure joy. They are playing "let the grown-ups get way ahead and then run and catch up to them."


Hanging out in the bluebird nest at the Nature Center. Good thing they are all wearing their sun hats. . .


Taking a snack break in the shade on moving day.


Olivia, supervising the loading process.


Who woulda thought a moving truck could be sooo much fun?
