I know I have exceeded the maximum number of posts for one afternoon but here’s one more:

For the last 4 hours Pacen and Camry have been here playing and the kids have been excellent and I can’t help but think how sad it is that they are moving this week! I keep grabbing my camera and capturing these last moments of fun. None of the kids can grasp how different it will be with them not living within 5 minutes of each other and Erica and I are just doing our best to ignore the situation or pretend it isn’t really happening.

3:00 -They were being so good that I had to offer them a treat.

4:00 Just taking turns on the tire swing

5:00 - we had to finish the last of Benji's birthday cake

6:00 back outside after dinner - playing 'something'

These kids have spent the last 4 years together – since the oldest one is not yet 6 we can say they have spent their lives together. I hope they remember this part of their lives. I will miss it. I’m sure there will be many visits in the future but maybe never the perfect set up that we’ve had 🙁
