David's Goodbye

Well, the time has come for David to spread his wings and fly away from our nest. We couldn't have asked for a better roommate and adopted "uncle" for our kids over the past several years! David has become part of our family and we are very sad that he is leaving:( Here's a little history...David moved into the Scott House (that's our house) the weekend Justin and I got married in August 2002. We lived in another house for the first two years of our marriage, while we rented out our own house to a bunch of guys. Then, the summer of 2004, we moved into the Scott House, and became roommates with David and another friend, Evan. David lived here until August 2007, when he moved out for a year to work in the dorms at WSU while he finished his masters. Then, he moved back in August 2008 and has been here since. Here are some pictures of his time with us.

Starting off with the birth of Jordan--she doesn't quite look like she's enjoying this moment!
Much better, David.
Christmas/New Years time when Jordan was a baby.
David celebrating Jordan's baby dedication.
David has been a HUGE contributer to work around our house. He really treats it as if it were his. Here, he's helping Justin build our fence.

Matt was holding him captive.

Justin and David together the night (or morning?) Justin left for Iraq.

What a great person to go on vacation with...can you tell how fun he was!
Holding Rylie "Christmas" morning (when our family celebrated the day before).
Holding Rylie during my side of the family's Christmas celebration. I think David has a special bond with Rylie...maybe it's because of the anticipation of her birth while Justin was in Iraq and the scariness of me going into labor before Justin got home. He did a good job taking care of us girls!
