The time has come.

This morning we said goodbye to Rob, Esther and Ashley as we watched them pull away and head to the airport. They are no longer Connecticut residents, headed to their new home out in California (LA area). A new chapter begins for all of us now that they will be living across the country. Oh, how we will miss them so much and pray the Lord will surround them with a new church family and friends very quickly. Tim and I decided to randomly spend the night last night at my parent's, so we could maximize our time with them. We stayed up pretty late reminiscing about growing up. We all realize this is part of life. My parents actually grew up in California and moved to CT in 1983. We went back to visit family just about every year to two years. Their move hasn't really hit me yet, because Abby and I will be headed out there in a week and a half. My mom left with Rob and Esther and my dad will be going with me. I have no idea what I would do flying 6 hours with a toddler by myself. It will be very interesting.
