they're gone...
well, eric and kristi and the kiddos are gone. they are actually gone. they left town from my house about 30 minutes ago... and i miss them already. i was proud of myself for not bawling like a baby when they left... but i'm sure i'll make up for that later. i spent the morning watching lydia and steven so that eric & kristi could sign closing papers and take care of last minute packing, and then we had one last lunch together before the kids melted down and they drove away. i'm sure kristi will eventually blog about the frustration that has been thrown upon them by the woman who is supposed to be buying their house, but i'll just say that they could use your prayers today. we are all confident that God will work out the details (when does He not??), but this lady has been shoving these last-minute, greedy bargaining attempts at eric & kristi as they have literally been trying to load up their kids in the van and make an 8 hour drive to their new home! so anyway, just pray for their safety and sanity today. and eric doesn't have A/C in his jeep, so pray for some act of God to cool him off along the way.
i'll post more pictures of our last days together later, but here's some shots of our busy morning... and last minute good-byes.
ethan's gonna miss his partners in crime...
kristi wanted this picture taken before they headed out, and i said, "wait, let me change out of my pjs"...
but she said this would depict real life with us...
and she's right!
last minute instructions from daddy...
wait! i'm coming with you!
now you see them....
now you don't...
i'm praying traveling mercies and good kids for them today...

Hey Emily. I decided to lurk over to your blog today... Haha. I know you will miss the Sparks family dearly. I am so glad that God placed you all together for a season. I pray that He will allow your friendship to continue, and that Kristi will remain a source of encouragement and a dear friend in your life!
Man I was hoping to meet her when M and I come down.....
Awwwww! I'm glad it's a few days after you wrote this that I'm reading it - I would have bawled like crazy! I'm okay now that a little time has passed, we're in our house, and you found out about Caroline!!! I don't think any of your blog readers will understand how much I'm going to miss you, though! What am I going to do when I need some lasagna noodles, some vanilla, or a cup of oil? :) I guess I'll have to find someone here to mooch off of now! Well, just so everyone knows, God answered all of the needs for prayer you posted - for his glory and our good! Even the Jeep was cool enough to drive 9 hours because overcast sky kept the heat out! This is turning into an email - talk to you later! :)
