MacNair House

March 19, 2010

We have lost more good neighbors :( Tricia and Mark lived next door to us for a year and Ian (as well as Tim and I) absolutely loved them. Probably because Tricia would let Ian climb on the coffee table and give it a good spit shine, dump out all the dominoes and run like mad, or take the plastic globe apart and throw the world around the room as if it were a ball. When they came home from Disneyland they brought Ian back a Mickey shirt. We did not even know he knew who Mickey was but ever since then Ian has been crazy about micky mouse.
We helped them move out -well they really did everything before we even got there so we pretty much just sat around while the kids had a blast running through the empty house.

Ian watching Tricia or as he would say it "Icia" clean the vent.

Lily, Ian, and Reilly having fun running around in the empty house. Yes Ian got that nice bruise on his head about 15 minutes prior this picture. He got running too fast up the stairs, slipped on the cornerstair and nailed his forehead right on the sharp corner of the trim. Ouch!

Although Tricia is back on the East coast, due to Mark's work he has been staying with us here in Utah. You would never know he actually stays here. He is gone to work before any of us are awake and back late at night after we are already asleep, and gone nearly every weekend. But Ian loves the rare opportunities he does get to see Mark and follows him around as if he were his shadow. It used to be that every night in his prayers Ian would always say "bless Icia, and Mark." Now it is "Mark and Icia." Don't worry though Tricia every time Mark walks in the door he still looks for "Icia."
We will miss you but look forward to keeping in touch!
Maybe one day you'll come back to Utah :)
