I Missed You!

Lately I've been missing the people I don't get to see as much of as I'd like. So this weekend was a huge treat because the amazing, wonderful, funny, hard working, soul feeding Ms Misty came to visit. We climbed Haystack yesterday, just the two of us, which gave us an uninterrupted few hours to talk nonstop in a mad effort to catch up, then I got to make and eat dinner with her and a bunch more people I love and then we went out dancing and partying.

Neil and I came home around 1:00 to relieve Grandpa David, the babysitter, but the others stayed out later (much later. I was impressed) and when I woke up this morning, I really wasn't sure who would be here. It was fun to discover not just Misty on my couch, but Henekis and Alan on the futon and Netdahe and Brook downstairs in the guest bed. Then I got to make eggs and ham and toast and sit around giggling with them all morning. And the kids got to cuddle with Henekis and Misty, always a coveted treat. It was all really sweet and satisfying. I don't envy Misty the 3.5 hour drive home late this afternoon on so little sleep, but I really appreciate that she made the long trip so we could spend some much needed time together.

For some reason I really get a chuckle seeing Dahe in his big-boy-proper-guy sweater.
