Happy Spring!

Ellie and I are enjoying a quiet day at home. We'll be going to the park later this afternoon, but I haven't told her yet. Last night as she was drifting off to sleep she asked, "Where's Daddy?" It was like she could relax back in the familiarity of home, but then realized that something wasn't quite right. "Home" was missing someone. How do you explain to a 3-year-old where Argentina is located?

On Monday we'll be picking Nathan and the team up from the airport. In the mean time, you can read about their happenings in Mendoza here.

One other sweet Ellie saying I don't want to forget. As we were nearing Champaign driving back to Kentucky, she pushed a pudgy finger into her north-facing window and told me emphatically, "This way to Gigi's house!"

Nathan reminded me that a while ago we had mentioned how we would love for our kids to enjoy visits to their grandparents. Next month and the month after she'll have the chance to get familiar again with Nonna's house where I'm sure we'll hear the same thing, about going back to the place where the toys are more fun amd the attention extra special.
