A time for every season

They thought they'd only be here a year...

Dad had a job, but it would probably only require him here for a year, so they thought they'd just keep everything else "back home" and just sort of "hang out" here for a bit...

Well...that turned into 3 years and lots of great friends later...

and they are finally headed back to their original "home"...

I'm sure it's not without a few  lots of tears that they say their goodbyes...to the schools where each of the girls started their elementary career...to the neighborhood friends and school moms that became close over those parent pick up lines and classroom volunteering...

Their youngest holds a special place in my baby's heart as well...they became kindergarten buddies and the stories we heard about recess and storytime with her "bff" were endless throughout the schoolyear.

I was thrilled to be able to capture a few Ohio memories for them...
