This past Sunday, our sweet friends Jim & Heather threw a going away party for us at their house. We had all of our friends there and it was such a fun and special day! We had a similar party when we moved from Houston with our friends there, so it was really neat to have a similar party here!
Jim BBQ'd some hamburgers and hot dogs and everyone brought a side dish - everything was SO yummy! They also had bean bag toss so it was fun to just play and visit with everyone. Apparently they ordered some Texas weather for us because it was awfully hot and humid. I am going to have some serious adjusting to do after being spoiled with cool MN summers for the past 4 years.
It was such a fun party but it also really made reality set in that we are leaving all of our wonderful friends here. These friends have been such a big part of our lives the past 4 years and have welcomed us into their lives and made living in Minnesota quite enjoyable! They helped us experience so many of the fun things that MN has to offer - so thank you all again for being so wonderful!
Here are some pics from the party!
Ok, well this wasn't from the party but I had to show our sweet baby and how he can sit in his Bumbo seat now!

So nice of your friends to throw this party for you guys. I know you've made some great friends there- ones to last a lifetime. Enjoy your last week there! :)
That is so sweet and thoughtful of your friends to throw y'all a party! (Just a side note -- Ryan had to add his 2 cents -- it is not a bbq if it's just hotdogs and hamburgers -- that's yankee term -- we have to get you back soon so you won't lose your Texas slang (LOL!)) Now you will have a reason to visit when Texas gets too hot! We are so excited to have you back! Look at how well little Joseph is doing! I can't believe he is already sitting in the bumbo! He is a cutie! :)
