Almost Home

Dad's still in India. He'll be home tomorrow, after 11 days away, and we are all so excited. But we've held it together pretty well, spending lots of time together and with friends. The kids, who tend to get a little clingy in the summer anyway, have been EXTRA affectionate, a little unsettled. All three have pretty much been physically hanging on to me the whole time (see the empty booth at the diner - they all sat on my side), so let's hope they feel a little more grounded when Dad is back in the house. I could use a little room to stretch. Oh, and Caroline went off the diving board for the first time!
