Julee's Summer Trip Begins!

At this moment, Julee is the most excited 11-year old on the planet! Yesterday she hopped on a plane to spend part of the summer in Arizona. She was so excited to be able to visit her "fun family members" as opposed to those of us who are not so fun? Her absence is already apparent around our house. It's amazing how much quieter it is when somebody is missing. We hope she has a great time, but we will miss her. Have fun Julee!

Julee and Alexis share a friendly moment at Applebee's before Julee leaves.

We went and had lunch with Dad so Julee could say goodbye before she left.

Excited to be on her way.

Off she goes........and yes, mom cried.
