And then Jed and Eve Deserted Us!

Jed and Eve are LEAVING us. Whhhhy???? Whhhhyyy? Worse, they are taking their dog Nova too! It's just too much to be born.

Adelaide and Eleanor cried their little hearts out when we told them Aunt Eve got a fantastic new job up in Washington, but that meant they had to move.  Steven held it together with all the courage of a one year who has no idea what you are saying but would like another cracker, please.

Despite declaring that they were disowned and "dead to us" about a dozen times since they told us they were moving, we still rushed up there to help Jed and Eve pack up their pod and get last hugs... no, no, no hugs - you are both disowned! I need a hug. Hug it out!

Jed and Matt played Tetris with the furniture

while Eve packed boxes.

Adelaide kept Nova calm while Melinda

focused on keeping Eleanor and Steven

entertained and not underfoot.

And now, they are off and gone up the great, gray north. We wish them the best of luck (the dirty, rotten traitors).
