We never gave Bernadette a proper online goodbye,which has now been over 4 weeks I think. Plus she has been so thoughtful to call and check up on us and pointed out that I had not updated the blog since the apple orchards to which she had a role in the apple-sauce making. I guess that means she misses us to go and check our blog. But probably she just wants to be sure we are not screwing up where she left off:) We're doing ok Bern. Thanks again for everything!! Jackson is growing like a weed and finally graduated to the big crib just yesterday. I think he has forgotten all about the 4 hour walks you spoiled him with. Shane misses all of the attention you gave him and Jason sure misses your help in the kitchen. The next family will be lucky to have you!

These were taken the night before she left. I could pretend Jackson is sad to see her go, but Bernadette knows this boy hated the camera. Cried every time we pulled it out!
