Womack Withdrawal

It's been a week, and we are in withdrawal. The IWU students are gone: most of them for the summer, but some of them FOREVER! Many students graduated, one of whom happened to be our babysitter, Rachel. She was actually much more than a babysitter, transitioning to friend and adopted aunt in less than a semester. But now she is back in Ohio, and we are missing her beautiful smile and fun loving disposition. Below are a few photos of one of our last times together (doesn't it just sound so depressing?) out at my parents' house. We miss you, Rachel!






Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get a photo of 5 people with no one blinking and the children looking in the general direction of the camera?

Yep - - - there were six of us.

I do understand how you feel about Rachel moving away - - - when we lived in Central, we felt the SAME way when we "lost" our college kids.

Sorry!!

We have a hard enough time just getting a picture of the 2 girls together... much less a family photo. :-)

Sorry to hear that Rachel is gone... how sad!

Such special memories you'll have. I love the pictures.

That is so great to have a relationship like that with one of the students. We feel their absence as well, but know we will have plenty of babysitters very soon!! They're already calling dibs!

We definitely went through withdrawl when we left our teenagers in Indiana. We still miss them.

And YES! I definitely know about getting 5 people to sit still. :)
