Just the Boys

After two years, the house where Mike grew-up finally sold. They're closing this week so the boys (including Jonah) took a trip to get the few remaining items in the house and spend one last night reminiscing of childhood. I know it will be emotionally hard, but I think Mike was also very anxious to have fun with Jonah, allowing him to create some of his own memories of walking in the woods and playing games next to the fireplace.

In honor of their trip, we dressed Jonah in Mike's Southwood Little League t-shirt we found when cleaning out Mike's old room. It even has our last name on the back.

I trust it will be a special time for all of them.

My dear little Jonah,
I am so happy you got to go with Daddy. I'm sure you had a great time. You look so cute in Daddy's old shirt.
I want to thank you for the card you made for me. It was really sweet of you to do that for me. You are really growing up and I love the pictures that Mommy sends to me, so I can see how big you are getting.
Give Lydia Ray, Mommy and Daddy a big hug and kiss for me.
I love you very much.
Grandma.

That is good news, although I'm sure it's also bitter sweet for Mike & Alex...Thanks to the generosity and graciousness of all the Falders, we were able to have some very special memories of our own in that house. Thanks for sharing and we hope it is a blessed time for all the Falder boys in Wabash. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help.

Ok, so I decided that I needed to comment on this one, so I finally signed up for an identity. Your kids are way too cute!

Hello Mike and Traci,
I am so glad for you, although I imagine it is a tough thing to do.
It was nice that Jonah got to go with you.
At least now, you don't have to think about it anymore.
How about a vacation to celebrate.
I love you, Grandma.
