I think Max and Sophie grew an inch while we were away.  They looked so much older.  How is that possible?  The kids pounced on us as Mom snapped photo's.  I couldn't get enough of them.  They were bouncing off the walls with excitement.  Everyone had so much to say so we just talked over each other.. 

Mom and I swapped stories of my trip and her adventure watching the kiddo's.  She thrived, as usual, taking the kids here and there.  She wrote down some funny stories about the kids.  (I love it when she does that).  Max was an absolute peach and Mom was brought to tears sharing sweet stories about him.  Sophie was a peach with a few bruises.  The girl always has to have the last word and can be quite "snippy" with brother.  She also didn't eat much for Nana.  I told Mom she went on a hunger strike until I came home because the girl "scarfed" up her dinner last night.  She practically licked the plate.  Mom sat there astonished.   Girls!

We just dropped Mom off at the airport.  She can't wait to see Dad.  Those two are adorable.  They have been married for almost 50 years and they are like bread and butter.  They just go together.  Neither Mom nor I like long goodbyes so we just hugged and kissed and said "see you in Paris"!  Perfect!
