We’re in the Metro Cleveland area visiting family. The first day started at 4 am and ended around 11. We’re all fried, but having fun.

The girls are running off to the neighbor’s house and playing with the 10 year old next door. It’s a little weird having the kids just off on their own.

I have had to do a few work things, but my boss jumped in and commented that we are too thin. That helped.

Whenever I am away from from the girls (like when they went swimming and I worked out at the community center), and they see me. The smiles. Oh the smiles. It melts my heart how happy they are to see me again.

It’s the little things that matter. A little word of comfort on the job, the smiles, the peanut butter ice cream sundae I had tonight.
