Well, I just wrote a nice little entry about my boys coming home from England, and when I clicked “Save”, the damn thing ate my entry (it wanted me to log in again!). I have been having lots of problems lately with the browser not remembering my login to sites, and this is about the last straw. I’m throwing the thing through the window!
Not really.
Anyway, it was lovely to see Dale and Jonathan again after their two-and-a-half weeks in England. When Kayleigh saw them, a smile of indescribable beauty crossed her face and appeared in her eyes. It was as though I had waved a magic wand and gotten a character from a book to appear in front of us in real life. She was quite delighted and kept pointing at Jonathan all the way home.
While Dale was gone, I took advantage of my freedom from duties to accomplish a great deal around the house. Some things—like cleaning out the garage—had never been done since we moved in here when I was seven months pregnant with Jonathan. It did mean that I was up until 3:30 a.m. this morning working in Jonathan’s room, but I got it done and it’s much more livable now. I walk around the house and am very pleased with the results of my efforts. I told Dale it was my Father’s Day present to him, so that now we are not met with clutter and crowded spaces every time we open a door or even just look around. (And many thanks also to Daddy, who put up a curtain rod, installed pegboard along the back garage wall as well as some bike hooks, put up the Roomba wall mount and another shelf in the utility room, cleaned out old icky caulk and applied new silicone around the hall bathtub, and other sundry items. I think he was busier here—he stayed with me the first week that Dale and Jonathan were in England—than he had expected!)
So now Jonathan is sleeping soundly in his very dark room (I found blackout curtains that fit his windows while they were away), and Dale & Kayleigh are fast asleep in the big bed. Soon I will be too . . .
Welcome home, my boys!

Posted by: Auntie Rita on June 15, 2005 01:26 PMI bet they are glad to be back as well. After gathering bits and pieces from Dale's blog, I've come to the conclusion they will get alot more rest and relaxation at home.
I have also had problems in the past with some of my blog entries not being saved. So, it has become an ingrained habit to copy my entry before publishing it.
Black out curtains would certaintly be nice to have, especially since I work nights.
