Sad Goodbyes, and Daddy's homecoming!

Friday afternoon J.David and I said goodbye or "so long" (b/c they will be back to visit) to our friends Kara and Maren. They are moving next week. Kara and I met when we were around 5 months pregnant with the babies. I was working at the Closet Factory at the time and in the process of designing her closet when we discovered we had the same due date! Maren was actually born 3 weeks before J.David, but we thought it was a pretty wierd coincidence. It has been such a blessing to have them in our lives over this last year+ and we are really going to miss them! Here are some pics from our last playdate with them living here.

Asher and J.David. (i think we have one of them exactly like this at 4 months!)

On to more positive news. Morgan is FINALLY home!! I am not allowed to post when he is out of town so now that he is back i can share. He has been gone since what feels like since the beginning of November. Between the trip to Egypt and this recent project it has been nearly 5-6 weeks that he has been gone. Tonight he came home for 2 weeks of vacation and we couldn't be more excited!! Although he would get to come home most weekends, it was obvious how much J.David missed him daily. We are so thankful to have him home for the holidays! We love you Morgan!!
