Saying good bye to good friends the Smiths

When we heard the Smith family was moving all the kids were sad.  This last year the kids were in the same school classes as the Smiths.  We switched watching the kids every other week so us moms could help out at school.  It was a nice arrangement and I really liked being able to see what the kids were doing in class.

When we heard the Smiths were leaving this week the kids wanted to play one last time.  They have never had to say good bye to friends they won't see again.  Originally we were planning on having the two older kids over but since Elliot and Camden have made friends with the younger ones we invited them all.  The only time the boys play with dolls is when Annabelle and Jane come over. 

Elsie was excited to have the girls over and play girl stuff.  The older boys were not allowed to play.

Elisabeth is the best friend a person could ask for. She is kind,sweet,

and a great socer player.She likes to read, just like me.

Elisabeth is defintly the number1 friend I could ask for!

When the kids were posing for this picture Annabelle tilted her head and Elliot thought he had to also. 

To get Elliot to take a picture he wanted to take one too.

This is the picture Elliot took of Annabelle.  I was happy to see he got her in the shot.

The boys.  Kaden and Charles had lots of fun together.  They are just 2 months apart but because of their birthdays they are not in the same church class.  Kaden always came home to tell me about their soccor games at school.  Here they are dumping a cup of water on their heads.  They thought it was so cool.   

Rylan loved having Charles to play with but he was more the third wheel and got to go for a ride with dad.  I am grateful my kids could have good friends around.  Elisa, the mom is amazing.  She is talented in so many ways and a great example.  We will miss them all and are excited for their new adventures.
