Hello / Goodbye

I just returned from the States and we are headed to Germany and Austria on Friday. I had a lovely time with my family and I owe it all to Rob. He watched the girls for two weeks and there's just no way I could've spent this quality time with my sister and Dad if he hadn't been so willing to take on so much work. Thanks, Rob!

My nephew, Scott, is an absolute joy as is his sister, Elizabeth. Daphne and Brett are doing great despite the lack of sleep that comes from having a new baby in the house. The weather while a scorcher in Philadelphia didn't stop us from packing up and finding good homes for some of my mother's more prized possessions. I liked Freecycle before this trip but after finding someone who couldn't wait to have my mother's turtle collection, I like it even more.

The best part of the whole trip was coming home. I missed my girls and Rob terribly. The girls spent yesterday afternoon riding their scooters, swinging, and playing in the fountain at Grace's soon to be elementary school. Ah, it feels so good to be home!
