Buh-bye, Emmy!

We said goodbye to our favorite roommate this week.  That's right; Aunt Emily moved out.  She didn't move far - she's got her own apartment shared with three other friends close to campus, which is great.  She'll certainly still be around a lot, but I can tell that Noah knows what's going on and that he already misses her.  We've been talking about his "Emmy" moving in to her own house and we took both the boys to see her place when she moved, but every once in a while Noah will stop whatever he's doing, look around, and say, "Emmy, buh-bye.  Buh-bye, Emmy!"  Awwww . . . . I wonder who will miss who more?  Emily or the boys???

I've noticed a change, too.  Even though Em's been gone working as a camp counselor all summer, the house feels a little bit emptier now.  She lived with us for over 2 and a half years - that's a long time!  She was here when we brought both boys home and is a big part of our family.  I will admit it's not ALL bad . . . . . I'm loving the extra space in the bathroom cabinets!  Still, we miss her.  Thankfully she's just a phone call and a 10-minute drive away.

I thought I'd dig out a couple pics of our favorite roomie, Aunt Emmy. 

Buh-bye, Emmy - We Love You!
