it is official. they are gone. gone from our home to theirs where they belong, but snap, it hurts to say good bye. thank goodness we have the modern marvels of computer technology that keeps us in touch by phone, text, i chat and photo. we had a wonderful holiday..a few lazy days, some busy times, visits with friends, a little making merry at mary's, gifts, exchanges, shopping, food, good food, junk food, movies, computer time, a new car, snuggie sharing, rounding up the flotsum and jetsum all over the house, tears, well wishes, more tears and hugs. that about sums it up. watching your child grow and mature and become a wonderful wife and mom makes you proud. maybe we had a little something to do with it, but maybe we didn't. thank you liz, andrew and mary catherine for a wonderful holiday. only 14 weeks to go until we can do it all over again! safe journey. we love you so much. mummy
