Good Bye, Peoria


 Ben had a happy hour at EastPort Marina Cantina to say good bye to his co-workers.


  Abigail was thrilled about the breeze off the river.


Central Illinois Dermatology had a taco salad lunch on my last day. I will miss my nurse friends, Mary, Lyla, Peggy, Jan, Barb, and Donna.

Perhaps the hardest good bye was to Niki.
We found her from a flyer, and she has been more than we could have ever asked for in a babysitter. 
She has loved them up since each of them were just 6 weeks old.

Lydia might especially miss getting her nails done with the other little girl there.

Good bye, Redeemer. We'll miss the friends, pastors, nursery staff, and choir there.


Good bye, Rothmere House, that for just a short time has served as our home. No offense, but I don't think we'll miss all that yard work and the creek...the black raspberry bushes, maybe.
We've been saying so many good byes that this morning Lydia was saying "bub bye" to her rice box and trees, adding, "I love you" and a smooch.

Official moving week is September 10-14. Then it will be, Hello, Oak Creek!
