Even more March

Before we left we got to party with good friends at Pen (why, oh why, did I forget my memory card?). Oh funny friends, how we'll miss you!

The Wheaton's treated us to a night at their pad with barbequed chicken and good company (brought us Jambalaya a few days later...bonus!).

Kris K. brought over a beautiful chalk pastel she made of our family.

The Mann's hosted a super-fun going away party for us at their house! So many friends from our ward came. We loved those couple of hours with them.

Genevieve Nagata organized a going away party for Thys in his 6th grade class (and yes, Thys was suprised...he loved it!).

Ryan was able to squeeze in one last horseback ride up in the mountains with his Dad; Dad even drove down from Ellensburg (on his birthday, no less), just to say goodbye (thanks for all the tasty dried apples, Dad!). He stayed for an hour or two, then drove home.

Thys was able to go on a temple trip with the YM/YW in our ward (his first) a few nights before we left.

Our neighbor Alison graciously welcomed our chickens into her home...uh...coop. Thanks, Alison! May they be safer and happier in your yard.

Jake & Mia brought in goodbye treats to their class on their last day; they'll really miss all of their good buddies.

I'll never forget Cathy Wheaton showing up at our house our last morning in Woodinville; "So what do you need me to do?", and she went to work. Don't know how we would have gotten out of the house that morning without her. Thanks, Cathy!

So many friends pooled together to help us with our kids while we packed it up and ran our last minute crazy errands; we were just plain spoiled. To all of our friends and family...we love you to peices! Thank you for everything!
