For the last 7 months, Paul's nephew Preston and his wife Jennifer and their kids have been living in our basement apartment. Since we are empty nesters, the sounds of a young family living downstairs was music to our ears. It reminded us of our younger days with our children. But today they left for Colorado and the house seems silent and sad.
We enjoyed when the kids would come upstairs and play for awhile. Here they are shining their flashlights at Paul while he pretends to grimace from the bright lights.
Hallie loves anything pink, especially her pink kitty that she likes to take every place with her.
Cole was into balloons, so I blew up a bunch for him. He also enjoyed the ones I would blow up and not tie and he would let it go zooming around the room. Here he is with a green balloon mustache.
But even though we said good bye to Preston and Jennifer, we had a happy hello for Brian (Preston's brother) who just got back from his mission. Life seems to be made-up of comings and goings...

It's always great to be around family! Wow...I haven't seen Brian since he was so little! Time sure flies by! That's great he went on a mission and now he can be with his family! :)
It will be sad not to have them in the basement any more. I enjoyed visiting with Jenifer and having the kids entertain Soren. What a great opportunity to get to know them all better.
I bet they are going to miss you and dad! That's exciting Brian is back from his mission!
I love your pictures. I know you will miss the kiddies.
We miss being there!!! I think Halle was a little sad when we pulled up to our "new house". Even though we had been preparing her for the move, I don't think she understood that our new house wasn't your house!
