HOME again.....with angst
we are back.....we arrived home (early!) on wednesday night and judy was our faithful taxi driver. it was good to get home, of course, but always hard to leave the family in california. david called wednesday morning and we met he and siena at aunt mary's where jewlee was working one of her shifts. :) brunch was great and siena kept us entertained....nunu joined us for a bit and jewlee too, with frequent interruptions to help other customers.
it was really a great visit....we did so many things. one thing we will NOT do again is plan a flight that arrives around midnight. there was confusion about the rental car which was finally fixed and other issues too, but we finally arrived at pat's b and b around or after 2 am. good grief. of course we did not sleep immediately and it may have been closer to 3 (make that 5 our time) when we finally nodded off. we awakened early and then got the word to meet jewlee and siena for breakfast at rick and ann's at 9:30 or earlier if we could make it. we had a cup of coffee with pat and then hoofed it to the restaurant. more later

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BLOG!
it's hard to believe that i started this blog 5 years ago! i have fallen down on the job recently and not posted as often as i'd like. life is good. that is the really best thing happening right now.
we skyped with sarah and siena on monday night and with jewlee and siena yesterday. it was great fun to see her and have her talk with us. she told us she was going to give us hugs and kisses when she sees us....something pretty special to anticipate. :)
we leave this evening for a week in oakland so we will have lots of opportunity to enjoy the family there. i cannot wait!!

Siena and sarah
some more photos from another skype call.....i do love those calls so much! it is such fun to hear siena saying so many new words. whatever anyone says, she will try to repeat it. that can be a bit scary, and we will all need to watch it in the future!

Skyping with jewlee and siena
jewlee was blowing on her face, which always makes siena giggle. it was great fun!
this was a call with siena and jewlee......siena played hide and seek with one of her toys and then grabbed jewlee's hat and had a great time with that!
