bye richard!

well, richard did it. he moved to florida to start his big, fancy job! we are all very excited for him, but we will miss him too. especially me because he helped take care of shelby sooooo often. i don't know what i am going to do without him! :(

even when shelby decided to "help" him pack by taking everything out of his suitcase, he was still super patient and sweet, as always.

and then when she "helped" with the boxes too, he just made it a fun game instead!

BEST PICTURE EVER! if you could have heard her little giggle before the flash went off. oh my goodness. i usually miss her smile with that darned delay on my digital camera. but this time it was perfect! it totally captures shelby's love for her uncle. we plan on having many many skype chats while you are over there on the east coast! we love you richard!
