Farewell Friends

Sam and I have had a great friend that we've known since high school -- Adam Anderson. Over the years we have managed to still stay very close. We've happily added his wife Sarah to our friendship (Sam was the best man at their wedding) and now their son Parker - who gets along great with the kids. When we lived in San Luis Obispo they lived down in Long Beach and then moved even closer when they moved to Ventura. Then when we moved up to Oregon - within a year or so - they moved up to Portland. It's been great. Until now.....
They are leaving us - for Colorado. (boooooo) But they are excited - so I guess I'm excited for them. And Sam has never been to Colorado - so it will be a great place for us to visit.
Last Saturday we got together for the last time before they move.........

went to the park to feed the ducks (again -- we've had an excess of bread products lately :)
Sam picking on Sarah as usual......
Parker does this awesome thing and I wish we got it on film. His favorite movie is Mary Poppins -- so if you start singing Step in Time - he starts kicking his feet out like he's a chimney sweep from the movie. It's hilarious. So all day I would bust out "Step in Time, Step in Time!!" and there he'd go. It was great. :) Here's him and the girls in action......
Sam and his love - Adam
BFF's :) ..............................
Look how Adam loving looks at Sam..........
Friends Forever - no matter how far they might try to get from us ;)
We will miss you Andersons!!!

quick visit

Sam's sister Raeleen lives up in Washington now and lucky for us we get to be the rest stop between there and California. She goes there every couple of months for doctor visits for my niece who has Cystic Fibrosis -- all of her specialists are there. We love it when they come - even when it's short. Raeleen has been my friend way before Sam and I even started dating so it was a nice perk when we got married that we officially became sisters. :)
While she was here we took a quick trip to the AC Gilbert house - here's the pictures.......
