This Summer has been rough! We seem to have found ourselves in a pretty sorry place. (Almost) all of our friends from the neighborhood have found themselves PCS'ing to far away, exotic locales... You know, Virginia and Nebraska! Tears have been free-flowing and the lumps in our throats barely have time to clear before it rears its ugly head again. Poor Marshall has had to say goodbye to every friend he had.
The biggest collective loss was the Sayegh's move to Virginia Beach. This one affected all of us pretty hard. Their kids were the perfect ages for ours. Abby lost her friends Madeline, 8 and Mary,12(as seen below in the middle, with Michelle on the left who is hanging tight here in AZ)
Amelia and Katie, both 5 and best buds!
Kevin and Marshall LOVED playing star wars in all of it's forms... whether battling Jedi swords, building LEGO's or just playing with action figures.
When Marshall's friend Brett packed up and moved his belongings back to a farm in Nebraska, I thought I might lie on the floor and throw a tantrum. This sweet boys constant chatter was such a blessing to our home. He and Marshall complemented each other near perfect and had a real "bromance" going. We all miss him and it was so hard to say goodbye... like saying goodbye to one of your own kids.
(And if you look behind him, you'll see me with a coffee mug and a bottle of creamer waiting for my friend, Kathleen to come back. I have been awful lonely without our nightly visits, watching the hot desert sun set and our children play out all the wiggles they stored up every day.)
We all miss ALL of you...
Come back, please!

So sorry Torry! I understand. I've been having quite a few tears myself getting ready to leave all of my friends. At least some of you left before me so it's been spaced out a bit. =)
