to the tune of the mickey mouse theme song. . . .

so now its time to say goodbye to our friends and family . . .
Wow. It has been an amazing 7 weeks. I feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to spend this summer with my family out here on the west coast. It was a summer filled with laughter, fun, and memories to last forever. I can't believe we packed everything we did this summer in just 7 weeks.
The bags are packed and waiting in the hall to be loaded into the car in the morning, we said our tearful "goodbyes", and will make our way back to VA in the next 24 hours.
There are no other words but "what an amazing summer"!

To be able to have our whole family together and watch then having fun and getting along and doing life, how much happier could a parent be. God has blessed us and we can't thank Him enough. Matt and Riss thank-you so much for all the joy you brought to us this summer.
