farewell to good friends


we had to say goodbye to our very good friends the giorgi family last week. they decided to move to north carolina to be closer to her family. we understand and wish them well but are so so sad to see them go.

riley and gianluca met within months of moving to hood river 3 and 1/2 yrs ago, and the boys have been the bestest of buds since. lucy and alessandro are about 6mo apart and ended up growing up together too. the giorgis went on to have a third little one, ella who about 18mo old now....we will so miss seeing her grow up.

so i just wanted to post a few of my favorite pictures of the kids over the past few years.

the early years....
......sliding together at the park...

....lucy and ale reading at around age 18 month to 2 years (ale had this head of curls as a toddler....so cute!)
....this is about age four and playing 'knight rescue the princess'...

scenes from last summer....
....riley and gianluca on riley's 6th birthday

....on the soccer field this summer...
....lucy and ale getting some hugs
....riley and gianluca doing tandem naked slip n sliding
...jen and little ella...

they had a big going away party at Jen's sister's restaurant Soltice ...it was packed....we aren't the only ones who will miss them!!

and the kids all together just last week...



we will miss them!!!
