Good Friends Say Good Bye For Now

Yesterday we said farewell to some friends who stopped by our town on their way out of the country. Some of us church friends heard that our friends who moved to VA two years ago were going to be at our local airport for several hours, so one family organized a BBQ and they picked up our friends from the airport and brought them home.
Here's the happy family now. They are a military family and we are proud of them and their service to our country. We also love them. They are great friends to us.

My daughter, H and their daughter, M became friends about five years ago when they came to our church. Now they are eleven and twelve year olds. Oh my gosh how they have grown. I remember them dressing up, slip and sliding, having tea parties, playing in the back yard and playing with dolls.

This is the little sister, S. She was two when they left here to go to VA. She's a cutie and very energetic. She was singing and walking around playing this guitar yesterday.
She was teaching her dad how to play and holding the piano music up for him while he played the guitar.

Another friend plays another guitar.

M and H getting to know each other again.

Worship team friends chat while waiting for the BBQ'd goodies to come off of the grill.

We call this little guy "Chunkie Munkie". He was scooting all around the table on his bum. Isn't he the cutest? He goes to our church nursery.

More visiting with good friends.

Little friends get to know each other again. They were too young to know each other two years ago. They sure had fun playing the piano together yesterday.

We say "Farewell for now," and we are hoping they will move back here again some day. We will miss them while they are out of the country, but we appreciate how they are serving our country. God bless you, friends. We love you. Keep in touch.
