Bon Voyage

This past week my brother James and his wife Natalie (and their adorable baby Scott) moved to Des Moine, Iowa to start Medical School.  I am so excited for them, but will miss having them around.  I am so excited for when Bryan (another older brother who just graduated from medical school and is in Ohio doing his residency) and Annie and their darling girls and James and Natalie will all be back.  Hopefully they will live close enough that our little kids can play together often. I miss both brothers and their wonderful wives!  Anyway, the night before they left we went out to eat, but my oldest brother is on a family vacation with his little family and Phillip went out to the car during the picture and Ryan was working so it was a small group for the pic, but we had a lot of fun eating and hanging out.  I am so excited for them to start this adventure they are on and felt almost a little left out that after two summers of moving away I was the one staying home.  I decided to make them a "going away" present which Scott is holding.  Alli has little fleece toy with ribbons around the edges that she loves she we made one for them to take with them.  Hopefully Scott will like his as much as Alli likes hers.  (Bryan and Annie, there is one for Audrey coming.)  And I had to get a picture of the two cousins together, but Alli looks much bigger since Scott is in his car seat, but thank you James for holding her!
