Mariah and Ruthie

Living so far from family has had its pros and cons. The cons: Its tough being away from your main source of support, friendship and love. The pros: You meet other families that are away from theirs too and somehow you mesh and become "family" to each other. Tanner and Lexie found this in Mariah and Ruthie. For the last three years they've played together and grown together. This summer was a tough one as we watched them move away and embark on a new journey to find more friends to call "family".  (Though they will always be family to us, no matter where we live.) Here are just a few of my favorite pictures of this foursome.

Date night swaps (Mom and dad loved mom and dad Webb too!)

My kids have been anticipating we will be moving one day too. They are convinced that wherever we go, it will be where Mariah and Ruthie are! This last year has been good for us as we've learned to make more friends and strengthen previous relationships with others. There are many here who we call "family" and for these special friendships, we are most grateful!  Wherever we do go, we will always do our best to be "family" to others. We love you Webb family!
