Saying Goodbyes

Friday November 24th was Tyler's last day of Preschool before we left for Utah, so he had to say goodbye to his wonderful teachers who he absalutely adores.
Miss Sherrie
Miss Heidi

They have been such fantastic teachers and Tyler has learned so much from them. Everyday he practices his letters and sounds. He has learned to love it and can pretty much tell you what any word begins with. He will say "b b b ball, ball begins with B!" He says that all day long for anything he sees or think about. It is a great deal because of his wonderful teachers.

We had family breakfast at the Van Vleet's house the day before we left for Utah and it was a lot of fun. Josh went with his brother to go shoot rotten pumkins :) while the kids and I played at the house. We found a dead butterfly in the yard and Tyler had to burry it, so he dug a hole for it and after covering it up Nathan had to mark it with a tissue :) It was a cute little ceremony for them :). They had fun playing at Grandma and Grandpa's house.


We thought it would be funny to get a picture with Grandpa while he was napping :)

Saying goodbye to Uncle Barron. Nathan kept saying he was going to miss Uncle Barron, and as I was posting this picture Nathan saw it and started to laugh, then he said "Uncle Barron's so funny" :) LOL

The boys saying goodbye to Uncle Bradley. They really love Uncle Brad, and liked that he came over and would hang out at our house and join us for family prayer sometimes :)
It was comforting to know when we were saying goodbyes that it was only going to be a few months and that we would get to see everyone over the holidays. It was not nearly as hard as I thought and I was very grateful for that.

I don't know if you remember me or not, but I grew up next door to the VanVleet's (Stephanie). I like to check your blog occassionally to see how your family it doing. I can't believe how much your older boy look's like Josh...reminds me of when we were kids! Both your kids are so cute. I especially like this post of all the VanVleet's. I have seen MANY picture's of Kent napping...so funny! I don't see them very often, but think about them all the time so it is fun to see them. I keep in touch with Tom a little too.

Hope your family is doing well in Utah! I know change is hard. We moved from AZ to CA last year and it has been a long adjustment!

I have a blog, but it is private...if you or Josh email me I will add you to mine (weavercollection@yahoo.com). Take care and have a wonderful Christmas!
