Hellos and Good-Byes

This weekend we headed to Boise to visit with family and to say good-bye to Papa before he leaves on another 6 month deployment, this time to Afghanistan.We had a nice get together at Zac's parent's house. It always puts a smile on my face to see all the little cousins playing together, and Maggie enjoys time with family so much.There's always that moment though, usually late in the evening, when my children realize just how much fun they've had, and how extremely exhausted they are; melt downs are inevitable. 
To top it all off, Papa and Grandma had a nice surprise for Maggie---a baby doll changing table/bunk bed. Ever since Papa made Maggie her dolly high chair she's been thinking of new projects for him. A changing table/bunk bed...just perfect for our little Mama.

We're moving along with the sale of our house in Boise, but...the inspector discovered 3 inches of water in the basement on Wednesday, so Zac spent all day Friday pumping water from the basement and replacing the hot water heater. With all the hassle of owning this house, trying to sell it, etc. I still absolutely adore it. I adore our great neighbors there, the beautiful back yard, and the life in the Northend. With a close date coming soon I was a little sentimental during my last stay at the house. It will always be Zac's and I's first "real" home, and it was Maggie's first home as well...

A trip to Boise always means lots of time in the car.

 We had to make a stop on the way back to Moscow for a little fresh air, and a visit to the River.



Obviously my blogging time has been a bit limited, but it is now summer break, so hypothetically if you keep checking back more should be coming soon!
Although if you're like us you may be outside soaking up this beautiful weather!
