Quiet

The silence is a little overwhelming this morning, now that we are back home. We all piled into the car at 5 a.m. today. First we dropped Steve off at Gowen Field to catch a flight to Montana for the change of command ceremony for the unit he was attached to while in Iraq. He was excited to go, as he'll get to see a bunch of his buddies from the deployment. He should be arriving back late this afternoon. Then, we took Nana to the airport to catch her flight back to Maine. After we'd left her at the security checkpoint, we rode the elevator back down to the ground level, where Camden proceeded to burst into tears because he "missed his Nana". On the ride back home, he kept telling me that Blue Bunny had "tears comin' down" because Blue Bunny "missed his Nana", too.

Mum's visit was really great - - it was so good to have her here, and I was so happy that Camden got to have some bonding time with his Nana. I worked two of the days while she was here, so they were able to spend lots of time together. Mum is the perfect Nana, and Camden loves her dearly. Here are some great pictures from her visit:




Nana and Camden decided to try the sidewalk paint set, but Camden thought it was more fun to paint Nana










Nana took Camden to the Rumor Mill one morning for milk and donuts







We met Steve one day for a picnic lunch out at Gowen Field. Camden loved all of the "retired" army vehicles that he could climb in
