Goodbye old friends!

So right before Christmas break, we had some really good friends of ours move away to Colorado. We really enjoy the friendship we have with the Lukes. They are very kind and helpful, fun and entertaining, and they are always fun to play games with. Not to mention Cami cooks the most amazing bread, rolls, and cookies that I LOVE! Brent (the daddy) is a great, nice, smart guy, Hannah is a darling, smart, sweet little princess 3 year old, and Jacob is a cute chunky little guy that is only 5 weeks younger than Jack. And Cami (the mommy) has been so many things to me....a great, reliable friend, a confidant, a babysitter, feeder of lots of delicous homemade bread (No Cami, I did not use you for your bread. It was just an amazing perk!) and an honest, great advice giver. We spent a lot of time with the Luke family and they are already being GREATLY missed by us all. We sure do love you guys and miss you lots. We hope Colorado is treating you well! These pics were taken the night before they moved and the day they moved.
I obviously can't center a picture, but look how cute Hannah and Jacob are!

Dustin, Jack, Hannah, Jacob, and Brent the night before the Lukes moved. We had a cleaning party at the Luke apartment and a slumber party at our house! There were only a few tears shed that night, especially at bath time when Jack was splashing Hannah. Naughty Jack! :)

Jack and Jacob saying goodbye in their own little way! (Maybe a little too young to realize what a good, potential friend they were saying farewell to.)

Saying goodbye to my great friend Cami! It was fun being pregnant together, it was fun having baby boys together, it was fun trying to lose weight together, and it was fun just being together! :) Thanks for everything, Cami! I love you!

Saying goodbye to Hannah, my sweet little princess!


Here are just a few pictures of good times with the Lukes!

Dustin and our BIG 5 week old and Brent and his newborn when Jacob was born.

Hannah helping Jack drink his bottle!

Dustin hanging out with Jack, Jacob, and Hannah. Hannah doesn't like guys so much, but right from the beginning she has loved Dustin. They are so cute when they play and talk together!

Look at those serious, but oh so cute, faces!

Jack and Jacob hanging out. Look at that size difference. We always laugh about how they are built completely different - just like their daddies!

Jack and Hannah playing. Jack absolutely loved Hannah. He always followed her around and laughed at her, which did bug her quite a bit, but I think she still loves Jack too!

Hanging out in strollers together at the water park.

Jack trying to wrestle with Jacob. Jacob put up with a lot of stuff from Jack: getting tackled, getting crawled on and sat on, getting pushed over, and getting his face poked. When Jacob learned to crawl was a happy day so that he could now crawl away from Jack. Through it all, Jack sure enjoyed "playing" with Jacob though.

Jack and Jacob!

Jack and I at the circus with the Luke family!


Thanks for so many great times! We love you Luke family!!

Oh, how I am going to miss the Luke family as well. Sigh. Wait, I don't know them. Anyway, I love Dustin even more now because of his comments about short men on TV and in movies!!
