Well, I'm sitting in Brooke and Mike's living room looking out at a sunny northern CA day. The girls are all at school this morning so it has been pretty quiet...I've been doing laundry, taking out garbage and in general getting organized for my stay.

Brooke left this morning at about 1 am to drive up to SF to catch her flight out. Fortunately she called me at 6 am to let me know she had made the flight. It is especially important since I had set the alarm for the morning to go off at 5:25 PM! I have already corrected that for tomorrow.

Ellyn will be home at 12:45....then Sadie at about 3:30...and then Sadie has ballet...I need to pick up Jane from soccer practice and then we'll be going to Costco for dinner and to pick up some stuff for home. Then Jane has YW and then we'll head home. A busy mother's day that I'm not used to anymore!

Marnie, I love the new template but it doesn't seem to have a link to write a posting? Did I miss it?

I just got a call from Brooke that she made her second flight which goes right to Frankfurt where Mike will pick her up. They are both so excited!!!

Love you all,

Mom
