Last lovin' on the cousins

Goodbyes came too soon for our time with the Gillies. At least the girls got several days with them while we were in Texas, but we were so sad to see them go and will be missing them terribly til next fall. We got one last night with them before they flew back to New Zealand, and they soaked it up. Joy and Luke ran laps in the house and sneaked a few hugs along the way.

 You should hear how precious it sounds for little Luke to say in his precious accent, "Where's Joy Bird?"

Abby Jane taught a little school, since the Gillies boys were on holiday and, well, because most days are good days to Abby Jane to teach school, ballet, or gymnastics.
Then it was lots of hugs and I love you's, and plans for skyping. We sure love these precious ones, love any time with all of them that we can get, and love the memories these dear little cousins are building on such fun visits.
