These goodbyes were especially hard, but who knew we would have such good and deep friendships after just 17 months in a city. . . not to mention a city where we didn’t speak their language at all to begin with 
The Father has been so good! We are so thankful.
Our last week in CD the kids had lots of chances to play together. Lyric even had his first sleepover ever (at our house) where the boys giggled until midnight! Colt definitely misses his buddy Lyric!
My friend Tracy treated us to dinner the night before we left (when everything is packed up with no food in the house and I was exhausted) Love her!!
Jean – she’s awesome! She was our 2nd Chinese teacher :)
David’s teacher and his fiancee. They are a lot of fun. We played hours of Phase 10 together They really like to come over for Mexican or biscuits/gravy!
My Jean – bean!
Some of Colt’s classmates we saw while walking home the night before we moved!
Our neighbor, Yang Yang, and she was probably Colt’s first crush. He thinks she’s cute :)
Our Ayi and her family. We miss them and love them!
Some of Kylie’s teachers and classmates She went there for over a year. They really loved on her well!
Colt and his buddy Jack. They could be twins.
Caden and his buddy Simeon. They had lots of playdates together :)
My heart hurts for the kids. How hard it must be for them to leave their little friends for a new home. Praying for you and David to have the right words for the kids.
Thankful for precious friends and memories!
Love you all!
