Goodbye Friends

In typical Swearingen fashion, an overflowing crowd gathered at Santi's on Thursday night to say goodbye to Christopher, Emilie, and Joseph Swearingen. I know the waitstaff at Santi's is also sad to see them go, as the Swearingens were weekly (or more) visitors to the fantastic Mexican restaurant. The Swearingens have been in Charleston for five years, and Mr. Morgan and I got to know them as a dating couple when they hosted a small group at their Mt. Pleasant apartment four years ago. Oh how we'll miss them!!

Alison and Christopher pose with me on the patio. Little Hamilton's in the Sleepy Wrap attached to me.
Emilie and I say "See you later" and not goodbye. We're hoping to meet up with them the next time we're in Tennessee visiting Mr. Morgan's family. Since the Swearingens are moving to Little Rock, we'll only be a few hours apart when we visit Paris, Tenn.Mr. Morgan, Christopher, and Jordon pose in what's apparently the color of the day. Sweet Joseph, Emilie, and baby #2--how I'll miss watching Joseph continue to grow and Emilie's belly, too!

Claire waits for Joseph who's either resting or enjoying a timeout on Mama's lap. Linnea and Lee are more friends who are sad to see the Swearingens move.The relaxed atmosphere of the patio at Santi's is second only to the margaritas.
