Uncle Brian

My brother Brian has been living with us since the beginning of the year, and his time here has come to an end. This morning he started his long drive back to Texas. It has been so much fun having him here and I can honestly say he will be terribly missed (by me and the kiddos). It was such a treat having family here and it makes me realize just how much I miss having family close by.

A couple of days ago Brian's girlfriend Elizabeth flew here so she could drive back with him. Yesterday they picked Owen up from school early and took him for a little hike to the Carson waterfall. I love all these cute photos of Brian and Owen together.

After Brian left this morning Owen told me, "I want Uncle Brian to live with us forever."

Last night after we put the kids to bed, we turned our living room into a dance floor! We stayed up until 1:30 am dancing the night away.....way too late for me! I have been exhausted all day long!

During Brian's time here, he fell in love with Miss Adler (the feelings were mutual). She would often asked for Brian to hold her.....

....and read to her.....

.....and dance too!

We are all going to miss you Brian and can't wait to see you again! Thanks for all the laughs, silly faces, sarcasm and good times.
