Farewell Leymasters

My friend Shay organized a great farewell shindig for the Leymaster family who recently moved to Boston.  Our family was so blessed to become friends with them. 

Anne was the brains behind the co-op preschool Piper goes to.  She was also my visiting teacher and a crackerjack one at that.  Dave was Rick's go-to sport-watching buddy.  Piper loved Ellie and I can just hear her yell Ellie's name whenever she saw her. 

Piper insisted that we were each going to only miss our counterpart: Rick would miss Dave, I would miss Anne, Piper would miss Ellie, and Simon would miss Hank.  Such a funny girl. 

We miss you Leymasters, all of you!  We'll be sure to visit.

Here are pictures from the party. Anne, let me know the photos aren't hi-res enough when you click on them.

Looks like you guys have made a really good group of friends in the relatively short time you've lived there.

WE MISS YOU TOOOO!!! Thanks for the sweet post. Ellie asked the other day if she could find Piper's friend Zoe so that Piper would come visit us.
She also said you know Piper's friends "the boys" I really miss them too.

Correction to the Leymaster Family post - Dave only misses Rick (Piper was correct)...j/k
