Goodbye - Family #2

Yesterday we said goodbye to our very good friends Si and Anna. They were our first friends here, so this was an especially hard goodbye. We have been friends with them since Hannah was 3 months old. But, we are very excited for what God has in store for them. Si has taken a position as youth pastor at a church in Iowa. Anna is 12 weeks pregnant, so their life is full of changes this coming year. Due to unfortunate circumstances, they got to spend the whole afternoon with us yesterday. I say unfortunate for them...but kinda a blessing for us!! After the guys loaded the truck they were supposed to leave and head for Columbia, Mo. (where they were going to spend the night with Anna's brother). But their car was still in the shop. So, by the time their car was fixed, it was too late for them to leave....thus allowing us to spend more time with them! Here are a few pictures of us with them over the years...

Girls day out. We went to Cincinnati and went to the Zoo and shopping at Gap Warehouse.

Here we are on the Bell Of Louisville. They had told us it was going to be this nice trip down the Ohio river and we were going to get a nice dinner ect...and once it was too late to get off, we realized that is was a college night party trip, and we were served nasty hot dogs!!!!! They felt SO bad though. But Hannah had a blast dancing on the disco floor...(and Anna had got the tickets for free, so we weren't out anything but our time). O, and did I say how COLD it was that night!!!

Thanksgiving at our house. (this year, I think)
