Not as tough as losing a dog, but still tough...After living with us for 3 years, the daughter is packing her clan up and moving an hour away from us...this is the only home the 2 year old has known, and the 4 year old learned to walk and talk here...the 8 year old, eh, she'd rather watch tv than spend time with me but I will miss her too...these two have been my partners in crime and we have gotten in plenty of trouble together...case in point, this pic, they were supposed to be taking a nap but I nabbed them to go out and help me unpack the new kayak...by the time they are 10, I will have a fleet of these so we can take our silliness to new horizons...

On the bright side, I now have a new reason to visit Roger's Sporting Goods!
