Not quite goodbye
Some of our dear friends have accepted a once in a lifetime offer, a sweet offer that moves their entire family from the beautiful Pacific Northwest to the midwest. In less than a month, they will be gone. In all honesty, aside from being the awesome people they are, they are our only friends with kids even close to our kids age. It's not just us losing our friends, it's our whole family.
It's always hard watching those you love leave, but we know they are doing what's best for them, and we have to support them. Plus, it really only means bigger and better road trips to visit them! We are all pretty darn excited for that part!
So as you would expect, we are spending AS MUCH possible time with them as we can. This was just the first of two days spent with them over the long weekend. It's really been the best ever! They are leaving their adorable little country house in the city, and I really wanted to capture some of it, as well as moments of our kids together.
It's these sweet moments we live for ya know. I've come to realize lately, that while we had great friendships early on in life (and some people get to keep those going), it's the ones later on, the ones that really grow with you - that make you cherish those around you. And I couldn't cherish these people more.
Best wishes on Memorial day and always.
p.s., if you've never made homemade ice cream, the kind you shake in a bag + it only takes 5 minutes, you HAVE to try it!

Kate's 4th Birthday
My sweet girl turned four this past weekend. It's wildly bittersweet. I think the majority of that is simply because she isn't a typical toddler to me, she's worldly and wise, and far beyond her years. She is certainly not a baby anymore. I've loved watching her grow into the fierce and wild girl she is, it's a powerful experience to say the least.
I'm equally thankful that our closest and dearest friends came through for our girl and showered her with love, along with things she loves. It was all simple and nice, which seems to be what we all needed. I think at this point in our lives, we are soaking all of these milestones in. As our friends have babies, are pregnant, own their homes now, and continue doing life with us... We feel this is really what it's all about.
Happy birthday my sweet Kate.
