Well, last week Evelyn said goodbye to one of the "08 Babies" (see previous post). Good friends of ours, who we went through birthing class with, attended church with, and enjoyed summer BBQs with, moved to Indiana last week. Their little boy, Charlie, is just two weeks older than Evelyn, so it's been very fun to go through those early life stages together, especially since Charlie came to work with mom Ashley at our church office! The copier room served as the perfect nap area : ) I know Evelyn won't remember Charlie, but it's kind of sad for me because I loved the idea of them growing up together and as I'm a pretty relational person, I like to hold on! This is a good move for them-bringing them close to family, so I'm happy about that because my own family is so supportive and such a big part of Evelyn's life so I know how nice that will be for them. All through her life Evelyn will make new friends and lose some old, such change is just a part of being human. But today, in this moment, we are missing Charlie and wishing them a happy new home and lots of new memories to make in the days ahead.
