Best Buddies

We went to a parade, tree lighting, firework show thing at an outdoor shopping center this past weekend with our good friends, the Turners.  They were moving on Tuesday, so we tried to see them as much as possible to delay the tearful goodbye or in the military world, "see you later."  This was a hard one though, they have 3 kiddos, two boys and one of the boys is just 3 months older than Caleb.  Caleb LOVES these two boys and has been asking about ever since we said goodbye.  We went to church with them every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, so Caleb saw them quite a bit.  It was hard going to church yesterday and trying to explain to Caleb that the boys moved away.  Sad.  We will keep in touch and hopefully our boys can stay friends and reconnect in Colorado sometime.  Its nice that their family also lives in Colorado, so there is a great chance we will get to see them again.

It finally hit me, that we are a military family and our kids are going to have to leave their friends and make new ones everywhere we go.  It is not going to be an easy life, but it will build character for sure, said with a tear in my eye.  It builds character for all of us.

The three boys, Caleb, Bryson and Jace.

They could be cousins!!  Love them!
