Last parent Group

So last Wednesday was the last parent group ;-( I am super sad to see it end. It's been a fun 12 weeks, from that first awkward week when you don't know anyone, and afraid to talk, eat or say the wrong thing, to the end, where you have made lifelong friends, who "get" you, your kids, and your lifestyle. Your no longer afraid to say anything and complain when you didn't like the food! there were tons of laughs, smile, arguments, and even more tears. You share a certain part of your life with these complete strangers and enjoy it. Most of my friends don't even know that part of my life, heck alot of our families don't even know that part of our life, that or they care to care know it, which ever, these people have become family to us in the past 12 weeks. we had a great last meeting, where we all brought dishes to pass and chowed down! We shared as usual and said our goodbyes, lots of hugs and not so many tears. After all this is a new beginning, not a end right?? Keri and Maria are SO awesome, they got the ENTIRE group and our families tickets to an upcoming bison's game. Although I am not quite sure how that will go with Caden or even Colin, I at least know that everyone else there with us will be having the same feelings walking in. We were also given certificates of completion and some GREAT Awesome Mom & Dad plaques, with Caden's picture on it. They were way to thoughtful. each one had characteristics of each person written on them too. It was obvious lots of time and thought was put into each one! I tried to take some pictures the last night, but didn't get too many. I am bummed I didn't think to get someone to take one of the whole group. We're hoping to do a reunion during the summer, so I'll be sure to do that then.
