See you later

Remember David's going away party (tucked into the middle of this post)?  He had a chance to say good-bye to his buddies.

Except to Bailey.  To BFF Bailey he got to say, "See you later!"  How lucky that his best friend moved to Columbus just weeks after we moved to Cincinnati!

Here are the buddies wearing matching Invention Club shirts that Bailey made.  (They've always called their play dates Lego Club, and during the last few months we were there Lego Club turned into Invention Club.)



This was just before we moved from Wisconsin.  What great buddies!



Instead of saying good-bye, they said "See you later."  And so they did!

Bailey lives about two hours away.  David played at his house one Saturday.  Bailey's family came down here for Mary's celebration.  And one weekend Bailey was here for a sleep over.  Here are the boys, dressed in their matching shirts, hanging out in David's room after the sleep over.




It's been great to have a Wisconsin family here in Ohio with us!  And our calendars are marked for a get-together with them in January.  Yay!

P.S.  Also, I think it's time to say "See You Later" to this blog.  I am going to be wrapping things up here at MadGoneMom.  I love this blog.  But, as you might know, I'm weird about blogging.  It has come to represent different chapters of our life, and the Wisconsin chapter is over.  As much as I may fantasize about finding time to blog more about books or my church or Montessori education or life in the Air Force or general parenting observations or travel or whatever, blogging is really about recording our family's story--for my family.  So, yes, that Wisconsin chapter is over.  Time to start building--and recognizing--a good life here in Ohio.
