Together again!Stace and Cora arrived safely home Monday evening, and boy, was it great to see them again! Being apart for a week-and-a-half certainly made our hearts grow fonder again. I felt as full of anticipation and excitement as I left for the airport as I used to when Stace and I were a long-distance couple.
Cora was very good on the flight home, and Stace received compliments from three nearby passengers about her behavior. What a difference from our trips two years ago! And that was despite the fact that Stace and Cora boarded their plane early, when the call went out for travelers with small children, and then had to wait on the ground two hours for the rest of the people to board because of the new security measures. So ,the 11-hour flight became a 13-hour adventure. AND, Cora only slept for the last few minutes - Stace kept her well-entertained for all those hours!
The great news is, with her lack of sleep on the long journey, Cora slept through the night and didn't wake up until almost 9 a.m. Tuesday! Jet lag, going west, means you normally wake up WAY early; Stace was wide-awake by 4 a.m.
Stace took Tuesday off, too, and it was great to spend the day together at home.
Cora helped me in the kitchen a bit - notice my new apron, a Christmas present - it has coffee and tea cups, and says "Retrospectacular."
She then went out to help Stace with the leaves. You gotta love her ensemble. Cora apparently really liked wearing her warm hat in England, as she decided she needed to wear it here today (despite temps in the low 70s). She's also wearing her new rainboots, along with her apron. A classic look, truly appropriate for all seasons.
Notice the nice stack of leaves in her car. She was very proud of her leaf-stacking ability.
Happy 2010! Here's to an exciting and meaningful year for us all.
