On Monday we took full advantage knowing that our friends were in town at their house. Their house that they hadn't been to in months. We knew it would be our last time seeing them for awhile. And the last time hanging out with them at their house with the most awesome tree house that their dad built with his own two hands.
We had a good time visiting and playing. At the same time there was a sadness and a longing. A longing to have the whole family back. Back to the way it use to be.
We are so grateful and feel so blessed to have had the Nielson's in our ward and as good friends. I continue to miss seeing them in the mornings walking to the bus stop. I miss having the kids come knocking on the door to play. I miss trading babysitting. I miss calling Stephanie and discussing LOST episodes. I miss not having the chance to show off my baby. There is so much more that I miss.
Above all, I miss HER.
This family will always have a special place in our hearts.
Here is a news clip Christian did while he was here and here is the entire uncut version.
