Seattle was a defining place for us as a couple and as a family. I walked around Greenlake while I awaited your birth. You and your brother were born in Swedish hospital. We attended meetings in the same church building you attend. We shopped at Northgate Mall and Ikea. You learned to crawl, walk, talk and the art of negotiation among other things in that wonderful city. We rode buses, bikes, ferries and sailboats. We cherished the diversity in our ward. Our tastes grew to include blueberries and salmon. We had strawberry Saturday picking strawberries at the church farm and then eating them until we couldn't take anther bite. We enjoyed outings at Ensign ranch.<br /><br />So I consider the last 5 years a tender mercy for me. The Déjà vu moments have been endless. My tears are very real as I realize this your last Sunday there. So I guess both of us will bid a very sad and fond farewell to Seattle....again.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10839992234852073698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-282084691769985451.post-38320775483431128672013-03-21T17:12:42.347-07:002013-03-21T17:12:42.347-07:00Oh I just love you and our boys more than words ca...Oh I just love you and our boys more than words can say. I think one of the reasons we have had such a great time here is that we are together as a family. Wouldn't be the same without you and the boys. I look forward to many more great memories we will all make together. Now stop before I get all emotional!Big Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17272692939306362928noreply@blogger.com
