Having lept off the deck, Elliot and Josh begin to wrestle...
A serious display of strength and fun...
And then, a serious conversation...
Finally put to work!Fun memories with our friend Elliot this spring while Ben was still at school.
The past five years have been an important time in our life, not only becoming friends with these two young men, but being challenged and encouraged along the way as we travel the road together. As always, change comes, and this week we said good-bye to Elliot as he heads off to another state to begin a very exciting chapter of his life. And at the end of the month, we will say good-bye to Ben as he also heads off~to another country~to teach and mentor children. For us, it is bitter-sweet. We're excited for them, sad for us. The twins are feeling the "pain" of growing up as they watch Ben and Elliot start a new phase of life, and the inevitable change that comes with age.
