Adios, Texas!

Lainey with a very noisy dog at the airport on the day of our move, December 29th

Aannnddd....we're out!

These two crazies swimming at midnight upon our arrival to the new house!

I made this sling for Reagan so she didn't freak out with the movers! So pathetic! But the poor thing was so sad stressed out! 

Lainey, at the back of the house

in front of the canal out back (beyond the fence)

In the pool...in December!

New Year's Eve with our friends the Gressles and their friends the Platts :)

We're ready to tackle what comes in 2020. There will for sure be some hard times, but I'm hopeful that there will be many, many positive things as well!

Christmas 2019

Christmas Eve at church...hearing Don preach for what may be the last time...and a photobomb by Mr. Bob :)

The way to Walker's heart is through new shoes.

Walker's loot

Walker cashed in on the Legos! :) 

cute cousins

Christmas with Tom! Walker and Lainey literally fight over him...they both love him to pieces.

Such a sweet picture of these three!

On Thursday evening, we accompanied Tom, Aunt Whitney, Uncle Matt, and Noelia (their au pair) to the Arboretum to see the lights. It was fun!

And we took one final trip out to the movie theater to see Jumanji: Next Level with the Martins. :)

Merry Christmas, everyone! Next up...moving to Florida. :) 

Last Days with Texas Friends

Such bittersweet moments...our last days with our Texas friends! We cherish each and every one of these people and the places they hold in our lives!

Walker tagged along with Lainey and her friend Anya for ice cream. A huge "thank you" to Anya's mom, Lydia, for taking them out to get them out of our house! The packers and the moving truck made everything bananas!

Lainey's sweet dance friends threw her a surprise party! :) She was genuinely surprised!

It was the cutest thing!

Walker had a fabulous final game with his team, the Riddlers...he scored points and played really well! :) Way to go out with a bang, Buddy!

We threw a going away party for the kids at Urban Air in Frisco. ALL of their friends came, from several different areas of our lives, and we feel so fortunate to be surrounded by so much love and support. I am the only one who cried, however. I don't think the kids cried. Amazingly. :) Haha!
