Saying Goodbye...

The Whole Crew

How Sweet:)

Don't they just look all ready to go?

Little Buddies:)

So as you read in my last post, Lauren left last Thursday. We met her up at the airport to say goodbye, and to take some last minute pictures. After months and months of talking about this day, it was a completely different story to actually follow through. Of course for security reasons, we couldn't take her any further than the checking her bags and to the metal detectors, but it was so worth the final goodbye. On the way home, the radio played song after song- I swear- that reminded us all of Lauren.

It's been quite an adjustment in our home, seeing as Lauren and I were together 24/7. When asked where Lauren is, Ryan likes to say: "Lauren is at home."
Somebody says she's not, he just says, "Oh, Lauren is on the airplane."
He sits there and thinks about it for a second, and then he says, "Why?"
After thinking about it a little more, Ryan just says, "I want to go on the airplane too!"
Now every time anybody asks where Lauren is, Ryan's reply is, "On the airplane"
Sorry Lauren, looks like you're going to have to hang out on that airplane for the next two years....

We sure you miss you guys, but we're so excited to start hearing back from you about all of your AMAZING ADVENTURES!
