See You Later, Alligator!

Some very good friends of ours are moving away - not far, thankfully, but still "away."  We're pretty sad but have decided there is no good-bye.  So we're just saying, "See you later, alligator!"

We sent them off with a little party and the kiddos got some great playtime in.  We spotted them walking like this.  Melt my heart. 

 

Love how they just happened to color coordinate! 

 

When we told Will that Noah and Myah were moving he processed it for a minute and then got very serious and said, "Mommy, but where will they go for Easter?" and then "Who will Noah hunt eggs with?"  You see the Rickers are part of our Easter Family (check out the photo below) - and our Easter Celebration with our Easter Family is a very big deal.  So somehow we're going to have to get a permission slip for them to come back to celebrate with us every year.  Being a pastor of a church doesn't mean you have to be there on Easter Sunday, right!?  I know some girls who will help me scheme!

 

Adam, Rebecca, Noah, Myah and Leah - we love y'all and are praying for you every step along this path God has set before you.  We're just thankful we got to walk alongside of you these past 5 years.

See you later, alligators!
