I returned to work today after a bit of a vacation – my mom arrived in Seattle this past Tuesday, and hung out with my family for about a week. I brought her back to the airport this morning – hopefully she survived the long flight back to Florida.

We had a great time. The best part was that the kids got to spend some quality time with their Grandma Freeman, of course, but we also did some special things, like watching the Red Sox win the World Series, attending Bethany’s preschool’s Harvest Party, going to the Children’s Museum in Bellingham, eating at Billy McHale’s, celebrating Rebecca’s first birthday, carving pumpkins with friends, and having a nice Sunday dinner with family.

Our house is your house, Mom – come back any time! We miss you already! And drag that husband of yours along next time!
