As I was going through our pictures over the last several weeks, I realized that I had a lot of "lasts" of our life in Oregon and "firsts" of our life in California. So, lest they all get lost in the shuffle of life...I decided to put them on my blog.
The day before Phil left in November, we took a day to have fun and went bowling. Here are some pictures of the fun.
Daddy showing....and telling how it is done!!
Victoria tried sooo hard (and won the second game!!) and Mariah just kept readjusting her form to try to get the ball down to the pins faster!!
The highs and lows of the game for two VERY competitive members of our family!!
We really did have fun. Phil and I were so glad we put all of our "to do's" on hold for a few hours of fun and relaxation with the kids. We are so glad we had a fun day of laughing and being silly because that night at church was the "farewell" and it was incredibly emotional for the whole family. The kids had a hard time and so did all their friends. I told my children that some people are not loved that much in their entire lifetime and we have been blessed to know true love and friendship in our short lives. What a blessing it is to be part of a church. The nice thing was that a few weeks later we had a FUN goodbye celebration at Papa's Pizza (trust me there were still tears, but everyone had a blast - especially the kids)...pictures are coming!
