I've been away from the blog for a few days helping our bestest friends prepare for their move to Texas. Yes, my sweet Max, loving Bo, my great friend Andrea, and Richie's good friend Aaron are gone. An 8 hour drive away. I was a trouper- no tears until I tucked Andrea and the boys in the car and then walked in my house and closed the door. Richie knew it was coming. I cried. I couldn't help it! I will miss them so much. We've enjoyed their company and friendship so much. We are truly happy for them, and so excited to hear about their new life in Texas.

Thankfully, we were able to spend quality time with them as they've been staying at our house the past few days. Aaron has been in Texas for almost two months, so we just had Andrea and the two little boys. I spent time at night snuggling with Max in my bed, and I cuddled with Bo as I fed him breakfast. Originally Andrea was going to head to Texas for several days, while we played with Max and Bo, but the movers failed. Miserably. We had to change plans, and I liked the new plans even better. I'm so glad I got to spend some time with Andrea as well as the boys.

Max and I even had some quality time as I was showering yesterday. He came in the bathroom, put his face up to the CLEAR glass, and said, "Time to wake up Miss Jill!" Then he proceeded to talk with me, and then just stand there and watch me shower. As I showered as quickly as a could, without flashing this boy too much, I repeatedly encouraged him to go in my bed and watch cartoons. Only after I stepped out of the shower did he take this advice. ::sigh::

As I hugged and kissed the boys, while Andrea snapped them into their car seats, BoBo said Jill for the second time. What a sweet way to close this door and open a new window.

We will miss you!
