Last Night

Last night we had a combined birthday party for Dad and going away party for Lol. It was such a nice evening. After cake and ice cream we gave Lolly her gift from everyone there (our six, Mom and Dad, Grandpa Dick.) We compiled a picture album of the family and Lol's best friend Kylie. We had various pictures and also note cards that she could flip through. Well, i was dumbfounded when, before she had finished the first note, she was in tears. I think this whole leaving thing finally sunk in at that moment. Well she cried through the whole album. As soon as she finished Brady belined it for the house fighting tears. I just figured that he didn't want anyone to see him emotional. Well a bit later I went in to print some information for Lolly and he was in the office. Through tears he was making her a book. This is what he came up with (no help or corrections from me.)

You know at times I have wondered if these two even like each other.

I'll never question it again!!

I spoke with Lolly after she touched down in DC and she had found another girl names Alyssa in Atlanta wearing the same shirt (standard issue P2P travel wear). They were on the flight together. Once in DC she found 6 other girls. So she was doing better albeit a bit tired. Let the fun (and giggling) begin!!
