A sad day is coming. Sigh...

Erin is moving away...

And I am sad...

'Nuff said....

Ok-so really - Erin's fiance', Eric, got a job in Ohio. And since that would be a helluva commute - they are moving away. Like 3 hours away. Which in the scheme of things really isn't too bad -but I'm her favorite aunt. And she's my favorite niece. (That's just what we always say to each other. And this is funny because I'm her only aunt & she's my only niece. Trust me, it's funny...) The only bright side? They're gonna live near some awesome shopping locations & she's already told me I could come up one weekend & stay & shop!

Sorry, Eric - can't get rid of me that easy.

They came over this evening with the girls to say goodbye. Sigh...

B-rad had lotsa stuff on his end table for Payton to choke on - er, I mean - chew on... See how he has his iPhone away from her in his protective grasp? Oh yeah-I forgot to tell ya'll he got an iPhone. It came in when I was in Texas. Forgive me... It took Madelyn a bit to get warmed up enough to get off her daddy's lap.

I only had out the point & click (Oh, the humanity!), so I would get Madelyn to look at me, push the button & 5 minutes later it would take a pic.
Double trouble!

Me & my favorite girls in the whole world!

Ok-here's the deal. It's not like I see Erin everyday or anything. But what I CAN do is call her & say, "Hey-I'm gonna be near your house - can I stop by & visit?!"

Hmph, no more of that.

We'll be seeing her at the bridal shower I'm planning for her at the end of August. I texted her today about some details of the shower & told her to "just email it to me when you're done...since you're moving a thousand miles away!" Sigh....

I also threatened her within an inch of her life that she better keep that blog of hers updated! She said she would, but I warned her if she doesn't, I will put 'hate' comments on her last post every day. And she knows I'm just crazy enough to do it! Of course, I will give her a couple of days to get moved in & settled. I'm not an animal!

After that - it's on like Donkey Kong.
