Oh, how we will miss...

the O'Gwin family! Four years ago, soon after moving to NC we met the O'Gwin family, our friendship (and kids) have grown a bit since then. We moved to Louisiana 6 months after they made the move. And our kids think that we are once again going to follow them on their move to California in two weeks...sigh, it's not happening. But we have been so blessed to have such great friends, family really, and to have wonderful examples for our kids...so here's a trip down memory lane for those of you that have known both of our families...








Every picture brings back good memories, I have to smile at the one of Amanda and Aly both with missing teeth. Aly, although a year younger than Amanda began loosing teeth first, it was quite upsetting to my competitive 5 year old.














As I post this, events keep coming to mind that I don't have pictures for. Like Spencer and Kate as infants together, and Stacy and I pregnant together before that. And all the car pooling/kid swapping/long talks and laughs Stacy and I have shared.
So if you haven't gotten the picture yet...you will be missed Chris, Stacy, Aly, Lise, and Kate! Good luck in California, and hopefully our paths will cross again someday!

I am sure you guys will cross paths again. What a special friendship you both have. Very cute pictures.

Nat,
It's so hard to lose great friends...even harder to be left behind. I'm so glad you had the opportunity to be together in LA for the year.

You guys are our family - our home away from home. I think we are going to be a bit lost without you at our next post. I couldn't believe how little the girls looked in some of those pictures. They really have grown up together. I really do hope our paths cross again and even if we don't live near each other, we'll have someone to visit when we're in Colorado or Washington or wherever you end up!! Love you!
