Only Farewell for Now

I hate goodbyes. Anyone who knows me well knows this. 

My friend Kasey and I have lived only an hour apart for 3 years now, she has shared my Pennsylvania experience and now her family is moving to Ohio. Yes, only a state away, but it will take much more planning to visit in the coming year. 

A task I am willing to tackle! 

Here is a snippet of her visit with us this week, she leaves in a few days. While here, my kids attacked and wanted to hold Hope the whole time. Peter couldn't get enough of her and said, "We should have a sister like this, one with big chubby cheeks!" (as he poked her face). He also asked Kasey if "Hope still had a raisin her her belly," and called himself a "crazy pot head" while stacking pots on his head to make the baby laugh. He loves babies, but needs to learn a little more about giving space. 

It was a nice day and we got some fun pictures to prove it.

John thinks he's found his life long love I think.

Peter is insisting on being close even though it's Ella's turn.

What I love about these pictures is that Kasey got them to smile
this big almost effortlessly. Why can't I do that?

Always love holding babies!! 

Just a couple posed pictures, I can't help it.

Oh she's as pretty as her mama

Since Andrew wasn't home, we did timer pictures to get us all in.

This goes down as one of my favs.
 I said, "Lets do a silly picture!"
Kasey told the kids to pull their ears.
Hope thought she said punch yourself in the face.
Love it.

The Kellers will be missed in PA. I'm already scheming my C-town road trip.
