Hellos are some of my very favorite things – HELLO, Summer! HELLO, Spring Break! HELLO, Mamie! HELLO, Beloved College Kids!!
Sweet family picture at the airport curb.
Good-byes, I guess, have their place as well. I don’t mind saying good-bye to winter or a long school year or extra pounds.
Driving to the airport, however, and dropping off beloved family members is NOT my favorite thing. Last week we said good-bye to Mamie (my mom) and she flew home to Michigan. Today we drove Rachel to the airport to return to TN for the January term at Union University. Sigh.
How many people does it take to drop off one college student?
We loved having Rachel home with us this Christmas break. Such a sweet time of relaxing, celebrating, shopping, playing cards and games, baking Christmas cookies, watching movies, visiting friends, and so on. As always, we will long for her return in the spring and another HELLO.

I am going to miss Rach a lot.. :\ I love my family!
I feel your pain! We send our son Dan back to Florida Gulf Coast in the morning. I already have a pit in my stomach! Spring is coming!
I already miss Rach so much!! Nice blog, Mom!
Having you home was such fun, but I’m sorry you were sick so much of the time, Rach! Come home to us in the Summer!
All of ours left this a.m. in one swift kick to the gut…..five kids, a son in law and my parents. The house is really still and quiet.
Sad to see them go! Happy to see you blogging again :).
