Sayin' Good-bye!

Grandma Bonnie helped me hold baby Cianna.  She's two and a half months.

First, we got to say hi to my Aunt Jada, Uncle Neil, and cousin Cianna.  A few weeks ago, we went to visit them in Humboldt, South Dakota.  It's a far drive from where I live in Shakopee, Minnesota.  Mom says that it's alot closer than where they are moving.  They moved to Alaska with my sweet cousin Cianna.  I hate good-byes and I hate that she lives so far away.  I'm glad that I got to tell her good-bye.

I love my baby cousin.

Aunt Noel came with us to say good-bye to the Kahl's.  Then a few days later, I helped Grandma Bonnie take Noel to the airport.  I about cried.  I HATE good-byes.

Nolan LOVES baby Cianna too.  He couldn't give her enough hugs and kisses.

Baby Cianna wasn't so sure about all the commotion at her house.

Nolan said good-bye.

Lauren did too.

Uncle Neil got a BIG check from the pharmacy that he used to work for in SD.  The only catch...he needed to be present in July....too bad he'll be in Alaska by then.

Saying good-bye to Uncle Neil.

Us with our Uncle Neil.  We will miss him when he's in Alaska!

Nolan's FAVORITE, besides Grandpa Dave.

Grandma Bonnie came to say good-bye too.  We even loaded their trailer.  They had to pack up their WHOLE HOUSE!

Nolan found the balls.  He still LOVES to play ball.

We found a sled to sit in.  All the other toys were packed.

Glad you made it safely to Alaska guys!  We miss you and love you.

After I had to say good-bye to Uncle Neil, Aunt Jada, and Cianna, I had to say good-bye to Aunt Noel.  That was sad too.  I hate good-byes and I miss her too.  I cried (or almost did) at the airport.  I'm glad I got to go inside though.  Then, after I said good-bye to Aunt Noel, I had one more night with Grandma and Grandpa.  On Sunday, we dropped Grandma off at church.  I cried again when I said good-bye to her.  Then I asked to drive by her house, so mommy did.  I had lots of tears.  Mom says all the way to Brandon!  I HATE good-byes.  Maybe I should say "See ya later!"

Love,
Lauren
