What I'll Miss Most

Noelle and I took the four kids on a road trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We went on Ava's birthday and as you'll see from our pictures, we had a great time! We left early in the morning to make the most of our day in MB. We went to the aquarium at Broadway at the Beach, we ate at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, let the kids ride on a handful of rides, and shopped at the Tanger Outlet Stores. As our time is coming to a close here in NC, I've been reflecting a lot on the past 3 1/2 years and know that it's not the location, job, or house that we'll miss, but our friends. We have a special friendship with Nate and Noelle and their children. River and Andrew are 3 months apart in age and are seriously best friends. I know that, if given the time and opportunity, Maelyn and Ava (only 3 weeks apart) would also be best friends. Fortunately for us, one day we will only live a little over an hour away from each other in Ohio! Enjoy our pictures!

The birthday girl eating her pickle... she liked it more than she let on in this picture! I heard several comments about having our hands full that day, another couple at the restaurant thought we had two sets of twins!

Watching the fish and ducks below.

Noelle pushed the babies while I took the big kids on the rides... Maelyn checking on Ava to see if she was really going to take a nap (the answer was yes!).

I don't know who had bigger smiles... the kids riding the rides or Noelle and I watching them!
