Leavin on a jet plane....

“Leavin’ on a jet plane, don’t know when we’ll be back again, oh how we hate to go”

They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder…it does. I’ve often heard you don’t know what you have until you don’t have it anymore...it’s true. To those of you who live near your family, appreciate them. To those that are close enough to drop by an old friend’s house (like someone you grew up with) just to say Hi, do it. For too many years we took for granted living close to friends and family and didn’t spend quite enough time with them. Now that we’re clear across the Country, you realize how much they really mean to you and it’s extremely hard to pack a year’s worth of memories into a week long trip. We’re so glad we got to spend time with each and every one of you that we got to see, and to those of you we missed, we look forward to our next trip.

Thanks for the memories everyone!

…and yes, this is FINALLY the last of the vacation pictures!!!! (Is anyone else as happy as I am?!?!)

Here’s the kiddos at the airport and on the plane.

And as much FUN as we had on vacation, there’s no place like home!!!
