Wrapping Up

We have been filling our final days here in Hermiston with lots of friends and fun (in between packing!).

The Sharps kindly hosted a BBQ dinner and we enjoyed an evening with friends. Lorry was there for another photo op with "her" kids.

We went to a Tri-City Dust Devils game with the Warners and these two blondies were ridiculously cute together.

Our 6 kiddos for the evening had a great time!

 We got to have Carter spend 3 days and 2 nights with us and the kids had a blast!

 These two played for hours - getting up and going straight outside for backyard baseball!

Meanwhile, Shannon helped demonstrate the awesome beauty of our hydrangea, in its farewell swan song.

Bryan and I celebrated our 10th anniversary with a nice dinner in the TriCities. We bought this home on our 1st anniversary - what a lot of life we've lived here!

We made a quick road trip to Wenatchee to see Aunt Phyllis and celebrate the Pobst anniversary/birthday weekend. Lots of swimming and delicious pie!

This week we have our second week of swim lessons. Mitch is getting so much better!

Shan loves her lessons, too. No fear for the blondie!

This week we are also doing VBS, at least partially. We have so enjoyed having Bruce and Janet at the church and will certainly miss them!

It's been an emotional month and it's winding down. How do we really say good-bye to our home here in Hermiston? In bits and pieces, I suppose, knowing that the time is right for us to go even if it's hard.
