Old and new!

Something old, something new.  Oh wait, that's a wedding! 

Well in this case, it applies too.  Mom, Michele and Ben came down today to see the new house and visit!  And it was so nice of them to bring housewarming gifts.  I'd show you the wine, cheese and fig jam that Mom brought, but they're all gone.  Just kidding!  But she also brought us two little ducks that belonged to my grandparents.  They're awesome (and old!).  And in addition to the beautiful overnight bag and homemade banana bread (which was eaten with the cheese and wine), she brought us this beautiful picture Scott took...of a wood duck (it's new!).

It was great to see them and I'll cherish the gifts!  They've found a new home on the fireplace mantel until we find a permanent place for them.

Then it was time to say good bye.  To everyone.  Man, one day I'll get used to hugging him goodbye.  But it wasn't today.
