Goodbye to the Davis'

Lots of smiles and a few tears were shed as we spent our last few days with the Davis'. We gathered with lots of friends and neighbors to make smores at the park across from Darcie and Geoff's house on Tuesday night. Then on Wednesday night they came over for one last dinner. We had to have a salmon dinner, of course, for a proper northwest send-off. And I had to serve Geoff beets for old time's sake. Mom was so happy she was able to say goodbye as well. The kids played hard and Nina tried to stowaway in their car when it came time for her to say goodbye to Tennie, Adele, and Ceci. We were all a little somber when that moment arrived. Darcie and I have shared many bonding moments as we've been in the mothering trenches together and have leaned on each other...I treasure her friendship. She and Geoff are such dear friends. Their move will definitely leave a void and we will miss them so much. We know we'll see them again when they return from France, we just don't know where that will be. And you can bet we'll be anxiously awaiting that bit of news!
