Family.

This is my family in everything but blood. 

Blood too if you count all the spills we've taken on vacations! 

I am so soooooooooo sad to see them go, even if it is only for a year.

Family goes to the zoo and the beach and the campgrounds and to boy scouts and birthday parties and church and dinners and sing-along movie nights and organic food stores and regular stores. Somehow in two years we've twined ourselves together into a unit. 

It's a good thing it's okay to be sad. 

Because I'm sad.
