Saying Goodbye

The night before we left

a few of our neighbors had us for dinner.

I can't express how thankful we are to have had

the neighbors we did for the past 4 years.

That night after dinner,

the adults stayed back and 

9 of the neighborhood kids

ages 19 down to 3

piled in a car and drove 

to FarFars for ice cream.

The next day

as we drove away ..

on to our new life in France,

our street was lined with mini-French flags.

And they were there

waving goodbye.

We miss you already!
