I miss meine Laura (Part 3... scroll down for parts 1 & 2)

When we last left Laura, she and most of the family had gone skiing at Whistler.

In May, we went to the Bay Area for Elisabeth's graduation from Cal. Even though it was pouring (I'm sure it was sunny that day in Seattle!), Laura wanted a picture of her by the Golden Gate Bridge.



And that weekend, at Elisabeth's graduation, we got a photo with the whole family-- except Aleks who stayed home. Even Opa (my dad) is in this one!




In June, it was time for Laura to go back to Germany. She'd gathered so much stuff while here that we sent two boxes and got her an additional bag to take with her!


The final goodbye was excruciating! Until we see you again, Laura... we miss you and love you!!
