Good-Bye

Earlier this week, we went to a going away party for the Fosters. Jake has been leading worship at our church for about seven years now. With their second baby coming in February, they decided now was the best time to head back home to Seattle. 

We enjoyed some delicious food and wine. It was wonderful to catch up with everybody now that summer is winding down and vacations are over. My favorite baby girl, Autumn Rain, was there. When we put Ezra on the floor next to her, she swooped down on him and planted the hugest kiss on his face. I had tears in my eyes from laughter. Wish I captured that on camera. They babbled and shared toys too.

We prayed for the Fosters and their new adventure of moving, finding a job, etc. Kids were passed around. They were everywhere. Organized chaos really. The oldest were chasing each other around outside, while the crawlers were indoors on the rug. Ella was the youngest little one there; only 7 weeks old!  
We will miss Jake, Melissa, and little Addy. Why do all these sweet families keep moving to Washington?!

haha! its so hard to pick a "style". there are SUCH cute lothes out there for kids/babies!

majority of the time, i gravitate toward the "abercrombie look" for brady (is it weird that i want to dress my kids like what i find attractive in men?! i just thought of that. lol), but then i see the rocker stuff and i love that too!

i just got him a pair of vans with a few DC shirts. i just cant make up my mind! its all so cute! i guess he will make up his own mind when the time comes! haha!

Quite true: very cute kid clothes! We've found our label to his current style as "what his cousins wore". Works very well as it includes a diverse selection. ;)
