17 and going on an adventure

My stepdaughter, Emillie, turned 17 years old last week!

And just a few days after celebrating her birthday, she was off on an airplane...

To Germany!

Emillie is going to be living with some family on her mom's side - a relative who is stationed over there right now.

It's a really big adventure for her and we're hoping it'll be that change she's so been wanting. 

We're going to miss her so much - we knew we were going to be saying goodbye to the girls (Emillie and Hannah) - but never imagined Emillie moving before us!

Here are some pictures of the kids taken last week before Emillie took off...

I miss Emillie already!

(Good luck to you, sweet girl - we love you.)
