We got together one last time with the Ericksons before they moved away and were no longer Kansans. Oh, how sad it is to lose our best friends in distance - but we know that we will always be besties. You and Ellarie, and Emma will always have a special bond. And Amy and I are like the same person, so there's no way we can't be best friends for life! Sadly, we just won't get to see them quite as often.
Here you are feeding Ellarie at Mi Ranchito - Ellarie was doing the same for you! Silly, silly girls! :)
Emma LOVES her Eliana, and you can't get enough of your Emma Jean!
I love this picture of the 3 of you holding hands! :)
Ellarie and Eliana CHEESING it for the camera! :)
Daddy reading the Bible to you and Emma!
You guys were taking turns jumping on this little metal thing! :)
Eliana, I want you to know how very special Emma and Ellarie will be to you growing up. They are going to be like your sisters, but better, because you won't fight with them like you will a sister. They won't live here and take your things - so you won't have that sisterly-annoyance to deal with, only the sisterly-love and friendship! I had a family friend growing up who was like a sister - our parents were best friends which is what makes those "sibling-friends" and that will be our two families.
I just get so giddy inside thinking about the future trips to visit the Ericksons and knowing how you will run to the bedroom with Ellarie and Emma and giggle and stay up all night - and play and play!
Emma and Ellarie are our Goddaughters, and it pains me they are so far away now, but I know they will grow up to be beautful young ladies! :)
Amy and Dale, good luck on your new adventure! We will continue to pray for your family, and we look forward to the many visits back and forth!
We love you guys!!!
