Isn't he the cutest little baby ever? I cannot wait to squeeze him, and kiss his little toes!
We will leave today for California. We will drive to Nice, then fly to London, wait a while, and eventually hop a plane to Chicago, then wait some more… and afterward fly to San Francisco. Once we arrive there, we will lug the suitcases to my sister in law's car, and then drive a few hours home to see our family and friends. Flying direct is what we usually do…this will be the longest journey ever, all in the name of saving $1,200. I imagine once home I will sleep for a week, of course, that is after I have had a burrito and a cold beer.
The last time I saw my baby nephew was at his baptism, he was a few weeks old. Whenever we return "home" I am aware of the time I have spent away by looking at my nieces and nephews. Their growth shows me more than anything else that time has moved on….their first words, first steps, first tooth….are the small milestones that I miss.
I have a ton of catching up to do, When I arrive home I'll be able to chat a mile a minute in my native tongue, non-stop talk to the point of my voice growing hoarse, it happens every time I go home!
Yippy Skippy!
