While it took some time for our friendship to blossom, it was well worth the effort and wait. Melissa and her family became the kind of friends I plan to keep for a lifetime. I share things with her and she just "gets it." I guess being wife to a youth pastor (with our husbands being oh so similar) in the same small town calls for a lot of common ground--and very unique common ground. While I've always known the Chaneys wouldn't be here forever and I trust in God's perfect timing, it has still been so hard to let go. In fact, I haven't been able to even write about it for a while now without tearing up. What am I talking about--I still do.
It was especially difficult to say goodbye when a lot of our "goodbye events" were canceled due to sickness in our family. Thankfully, we did squeeze in one day for a meal at Pepper's and some playtime at the park.
These silly three had fun running up and down the sidewalks downtown. And playing at the bayside pirate ship park. Micah *loves* jumping to daddy. Ivory likes jumping...but she's a "big girl" and can jump all by herself. And of course Addie can't be left out of the jumping excitement.
Korban + Olive spent some time bonding. Ivory, "Will Mr. Sabian be coming? Yes? Oh good. I don't hardly ever get to see him." She was glad she could spend time coloring and sitting with him. He's such a sweet daddy.
When we got home we had one tired boy on our hands.
It never gets old watching them sleep. So sweet.
