Transatlantic Recovery

Candy usually arrives in time for Halloween.  This year it was cousins. 

When trying to deal with the exhaustion from red-eye transatlantic flight that landed at 6:30 a.m. bouncing around helps.  Maybe I should market it as a jetlag cure, because neither cousin seemed to have any trouble with the new time zone.

Are They Scary

Autumn Evening

 Lately I haven't been very patient with Cami.  But last week, just before bedtime, I looked out the window & decided to grab the camera & go for a walk in the fields.  Cami came with me.  Despite the chill, it was a really good half-hour.

 

'Cause she's soooo old

Cami just recognized a sweatshirt that I'd pulled out of storage, "I love this...it reminds me of childhood & I love it."

Cami's Compliments

When we attended Parents' Evening at Cami's school a few months back, her teacher reported that she'd be thrilled to have a class full of Cami clones. (Which confirms that our children do act differently at school than they do at home.)

Anyway, Cami ran out of school on Friday with a huge grin & excitedly told me that she'd been selected to be "Star of the Week" for her class. I read her teacher's comments on her certificate & can't help but feel proud of my girl:


"For being an ALWAYS person! Always helpful, always kind, always working hard, always trying her best & always friendly."
