Slurping up every last bit of enjoyment

Well, we said goodbye to our home last week.  I was so busy in preparation for so long that it didn't hit me until things slowed down how much I would miss our home!  We have made some amazing memories in our Kansas home.  It's the only home little Kate has had.  Even Grant can not really remember too much of California.  It really feels like saying goodbye to a good friend.  I had a few good cries over it.  Not to mention actually saying goodbye to real live friends.  In our marriage, we have never lived anywhere longer than 2 1/2 year; and that is just how long we have lived here!  We have made some great friends here.  I am so thankful for all I have learned from and the good times we have had the good people here in Kansas.

We wanted to spent some good time with our friends we've made here before we left, so we had Easter dinner with good friends, a chicken BBQ with friends at our home and Emma's party with another set of friends.  It was also great that 2 friends had a joint baby shower in the last weeks we were there.  Good times!
Here are some pictures of our last few beautiful weeks of Spring that we have spent here in Kansas:
Grant built a 'protein tower' with his edamame

One last dinner with Kenneth's cousin, Jeff and family.  Here are his twin boys out playing with the kids afterwards.

Everyday with decent weather (and some that I thought were too cold) the kids would do their reading time outside- many times sitting on the chicken coop.  Funny kids!
The girls wanted to be sure to spend as much time with the chickens as possible before they had to say goodbye.
More chicken coop reading with the beautiful spring green popping out

I tell you, most every day!

Fun times!

My three chickens on the chicken coop!
This day Emma just enjoyed being out on the lawn.

Kate, brushing the horse's teeth!
