Arizona -or- Bust!

Last weekend we tearfully waved goodbye to Jon, Kim, Lucas and Cody, who have moved to Mesa, Arizona.  Family, friends and neighbors all gathered Sunday evening to dine together one last time and to wish them all well.  It was a bittersweet evening, brightened by the entertainment provided by the antics of all of the "cousins" (pictured below in a rare moment of immobility).

I, for one, have savored the opportunity to reconnect with Kim after living apart for the majority of our adult lives, and I know that Jordan has enjoyed hanging out with Jon.  Of course, we will all cherish the times we have been able to be with play with the boys!

While we were very sad to see them go, we are excited about their future prospects in their new home outside Phoenix.  May God bless their new life in Arizona!
