Superstars

This month we bid farewell to our dear, dear friends the Maertzes. Fortunately we had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with them during their last days in Rapid. The four Maertz kids were friends and babysitters for our kids. Evan calls Ryan his best friend and Hans calls Alyssa his hero. We called Lydia and Alyssa clones since they have so much in common. Lynn was like a second mom the the kids and a kindred spirit to me. They'll be missed more than they know. We now are looking forward to visiting Watertown, SD several times a year. :)
