Kid Quote of the Week

Zane (handing me a plastic bowl with a rubber ducky inside): "Mama, here is some bessert (dessert) I made for you."

Me: "Wow! What is it?"

Zane: "It's a duck that I shot myself and then cooked."

Saying Goodbye - February 10-11

This is a hard post for me to write...in fact I almost didn't do it. It's not easy to say good-bye, but it is part of life and right now it is a part of our life, so I wanted to take a moment to document it.

The week of the move we had to say many good-byes to many very special people. These are just a few of those moments that I was blessed enough to capture with our camera. So many memories wrapped up in just a few photos as we said good-bye to...

friends (both big and small)...

favorite teachers...

very special neighbors...

our family...

and countless others who have touched our lives in so many ways.


A very dear friend reminded me that the reason we cry at good-byes is because we have loved each other well. And in the midst of our tears...

is a joy that comes from knowing that this life is not all there is. We have a hope in something so much greater, so much bigger than anything we can experience here. As our family follows God in obedience and seeks to be a light for Him by sharing the hope we have with others, we are blessed to know that these good-byes are not forever.

"...so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life." Titus 3:7
