"Oh, Toledo! I will miss you!"
-Sam, 4 years old
We hadn't been back to Toledo since our move in June, and we were needing an Ohio fix. So, when we realized that Eric was going to have a busy weekend, the boys and I made plans to go visit one of our favorite places and see some of our favorite people.
Sam was in heaven seeing all of his old buddies. He picked up right where he left off, and enjoyed every single second we spent in holy Toledo. When he wasn't busy running around like crazy with the boys...
...he spent his time taking care of baby dolls and playing Barbies to his little heart's content. (What happens in Toledo, stays in Toledo, right?)
He and Hailey also resumed their love affair and repeatedly told each other how excited they were to get married when they grow up. We'll see what happens...
I loved watching my boys get so excited to be with long, lost friends.
And I loved catching up with long, lost friends of my own. So fun.
It was weird to go back and be reminded that life goes on, even though you're gone. Someone else lives in our old apartment. Weird! The ward is full of new people I didn't recognize. Weird! Some of my favorite Toledoans were missing and it didn't feel quite right without them there. Life is always, always changing.
On our way back to Indy this morning (after we were rescued by AAA at the gas station because I locked my keys in the car!!) Sam got teary telling me how much he'd miss Ohio. "Oh Toledo!" he kept saying. "I will miss you!"
Thanks so much for hosting us, Ericksens! And thanks to everyone else for making time to see us! We absolutely loved it.
