Rolling Along

We hitched up our horses and headed out of Newburyport on Friday -- right after our roughly 6000 lbs of stuff (not including furniture) headed out on the Pony Express to Penticton to arrive sometime next week. We came to Maine, apparently caterpillar land instead of Vacation land right now, to drop Harry off at camp for the next few months and to continue our round of goodbyes.



Liz and her little men stopped by for some final hugs on our one nice day of sunshine this week. We gathered our babes and ourselves for a commemorative picture. She and I have been amazing friends for almost 15 years. We've lived, laughed, and cried together. We were each other's maid and matron of honor. We saw each other's babies on their birth days -- so many events in the last nearly decade and a half. This will be the longest separation (except for Liz's semester in London) during that time and I'll miss her so unbelievably much, not to mention her munchkins who are near and dear to me. 


Luckily, comic relief was available for much of the day in the form of a couple of busy little girls. Molly had so much fun with her bubble bath pour deux the other day that she went for the three-fer with the funny bunnies.



Not to leave the littlest member of the clan out, Molly had lots of hugs for (not so) little (but really, really cute) Evan. She liked to point out his hair, head, knees, toes, mouth -- I just tried to stay away from the eyes because I think he would like to enjoy his peepers for a bit longer. She has a habit of poking things a little aggressively.


Next up, we're headed to Boston on Monday in order to fly out to Seattle on Tuesday. We'll post from the west coast soon!
