My Wonderful Time Living at Costco

I spent last weekend with Alexandra in Chicago. It was four days of great conversation, sister bonding, yummy food, olive oil tasting, a little shopping, relaxation, and a lot of laughs. I felt filled and rejuvenated coming home. I got home at about 11pm and kissed all the children. Anna awoke enough to have the following conversation with me:

Anna: YOU'RE HOME???
Me: Yes, I am! And so happy to see you!
Anna: Were you living at Costco?
Me: No, I was visiting Aunt Ali in Chicago.
Anna: Were you far, far away?
Me: Yes, I was but I'm home now.
Anna (with relief): Oh, thank you mom!

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

I just downloaded all the pictures, old and new from one of our cameras. This one was one of my favorites. Anna was gleefully screaming the whole time, every time.
