We don't do sleep overs, but we made an exception for Casey. We are going to miss her so much.
We have been crying and crying here in NM. I think Emma's heart is broken. Yesterday when she had to say goodbye to Casey after playing for 48 hours straight,they were both sobbing. I was sobbing. It was so hard to seperate them. I hate this.
Casey is the only one Emma invited to her early birthday party this year. Ella came to play with Brookie.
Emma and Casey reading Frances before bed. They are so dang cute together. We swear Casey got sent to the wrong family. She would be a great addition. We'd stuff her in our suitcase if we could.
The weather here has been crazy. Rain and clouds everyday. The pool has been open and the kids have been dying to go so Tracey (the neighbors) and I finally took them and it was freezing. They only stayed in for about 1/2 an hour.
Sara and Janey didn't mind the cold water for a while.
Best buddies in the making. Will loves pushing Janey around in the dumptruck, she loves it too.
Libby made these skirts and matching shirts, isn't she amazing? by the time they are 16 I'm going to have her talked into making their prom dresses. I'm working on it.
Emma was Pippi Long Stocking for Crazy Hair Day at school.
Saying goodbye to teachers was so emotional. Brookie and I were both a mess. Ms. Heather and Ms. Anni were so great and we could have had them again next year if we were staying:( Brookie and Ms. Anni were especially close. They gave us each some New Mexican turquoise jewelry to remember them by, which I've been wearing everyday and loving.
The neighbors left for vacation so we had early goodbyes. More tears. They've been the best neighbors in the world.
Casey and Emma have written songs for each other and books and a million cards and they have stuffed animals named after each other and their first children are going to have each others names and they have a hundred acronyms describing themselves (B.F.F, etc.) Casey is such a sweet girl, we really are going to miss her. Making them say goodbye yesterday was enough to break my heart. Emma's was already broken. Emma is so sad that we are moving. She thinks life has ended. To her it was like a funeral. I keep telling her we can come and visit, but she knows realistically it won't be often. She is one sad, sad girl.

We are in the same boat as you right now--we move back to the States in 3 weeks, and we are all getting really sad to leave friends. The kids aren't out of school till the end of the month and it is just so busy...I don't know how it is all going to get done. However, I know for both me and you that we will get to our destination and that life will go on. It is still sometimes so sad to finish a chapter in our lives though.
That sounds crazy. I am dreading those days. Good luck and it sounds like you sold your house way to go! those skirts are adorable. Way to go Libby. I love your kids wish I could be there to help. take care.
We're going to miss you guys so much! Be sure to post tons of pictures when you get to MT. I wish we could go to the potluck on Saturday to say goodbye, but we're going up to Girl's Camp. Good luck with everything!
Ahhh. Adventures are fun, but the leaving is heartbreak. You will be missed!
