How Do We Say Goodbye?

I am SO sad to be writing this post. Last week my brother accepted a job in Seattle. I know, I know I should be happy for him and his family, but it is so hard! I guess I'm selfish! I do not know how I am going to say goodbye to this family. I know that we will see them from time to time but it is not enough for me. Just thinking about how much Maelee loves Graeson and won't get to see him, breaks my heart.... And just thinking how much I am going to miss my boys. I love them so much.

This last week was their last week here and I wanted to be sure to soak up as much time with them as possible. I invited Graeson over for a sleepover (his and Maelee's first), they ran around like crazy people, being very loud and silly. They fought over sharing toys.  And they laughed their guts out. We popped popcorn and watched a movie, and camped out in the tent in our family room. 

In the morning, Maelee woke up a few minutes before Graeson and was SO excited to wake up next to him. She wanted to wake him up so bad, but was trying to be so good and quiet, so she would quietly poke his face and head and giggle to herself. They had breakfast and a bath together and then Lochlan came over to join the party. I LOVE this boy. He is such a fun baby. I am sad that I won't get to be around him for these next few fun years of his life. He probably won't even remember me! At least, Graeson will have memories of us. 

I mean.. how can you not love that face.

Farewell party...

I still have a headache from all the crying, it was a really hard day. I really am happy for them. I am so proud of my brother for all his hard work. They have wanted to move to Seattle for pretty much as long as I can remember and they are finally doing it, and I am happy that they are following their dreams, even if it means they breaking my heart. :)  I will miss them every day. Have a great adventure you guys.. but most importantly. BE HAPPY!
