Monday will be a sad day in Seattle. Our friends the Lee's , Sam, Carol and Jocie, will be leaving! They are the first family from our "group" that has departed and it has been a lot harder than I imagined. We met Sam and Carol early in our Seattle life. Jocie and Samuel met when they were only 3 months old. I watched Jocie while Sam went to classes a couple days a week. It has been so much fun watching them grow up together.
This past weekend we had a surprise going away party at the Starbucks playground. The kids played, the adults ate and we all had a great time!

When Mike and I had the kids at our house we had them all paint a picture for Jocie. They were so excited and did a great job. Yes, the picture above is pure kid. We rotated the canvas so they each got a spot but the work was done all by them. At the very end Samuel asked to paint his had and added it to the corner. His signature. 
It is hard to believe that we will be without the Lee's. We wish them all the best in Texas! We will miss you guys!
