This is not goodbye....

...It's more of a, "we'll see you REAL soon!"
It's a very bitter-sweet week for us. Our good freinds, Casey, Teissa and their kids Izaac and Bella are leaving Portland for a few years while Casey ventures off into the world of Med School! We are so happy for them and so excited to see what God has in store for them - because it's much bigger than anything we could ever imagine!
Casey and Teissa, living about 2 minutes away from us, have been such a huge part of our lives. Casey and Tony growing up together, Teissa and I meeting when they moved back to Portland after college - they have become a part of our family. We have shared many dinners, breakfasts, running routes, birthdays, holiday parties, weekend getaways, park dates, and much more with them. We have watched eachother as we have all grown in our marriages, celebrating the arrivals of our children, growing in faith together, everything you could ask for in a strong friendship! We will miss them so much!!! But we know they will be so happy! Teissa will be closer to her family, so they have a lot of support where they are going, and they have a ton of support from Portland! So wherever this venture takes them - they have a foundation of love, friendship, support and God!

Teissa's farewell party with the caregroup girls!


Couldn't go with out a picture of the two of us!

The fisherman...

The day Brady was born, Papa Kim came to the hospital with a fishing pole in his hand. This fishing pole has been neatly hanging in Brady's room ever since. Finally, he was able to take it down and start his new found sport of fishing. Brady has been out twice now with Papa Kim. Both times he has caught a fish (we do count the first ittie bittie one). The ones shown in this update were taken on Papa's 60th Birthday. The boys went out and had some good fishin' time!
Thanks Papa!
