Sounds mysterious, but actually very boring, the plane I mean. I went to visit my sister sans kids in February and that was really fun for me. Juliana just had #5 a few months ago and is very busy with kiddos and house and music lessons and soccer practice and church and preschool and etc. Her husband Ammon had to go out of town for a week and so I took the opportunity to visit/help out. Her kids are adorable and well mannered and pretty self sufficient and talented and helped me realize my kids are totally normal-all kids throw fits and fight, even when they are intellectually superior to my own. Hehehe! Actually they were very good. It's a lot easier to get out of the house during the day when two can tag team. We went to the zoo-free and amazing, a children's discovery museum, soccer game and a small local airport, where my brother Jake flew in on his plane (Air Force) from Oklahoma and then had lunch with us. Turns out my brother does actually fly planes, I saw him land it and get out with my own eyes. I haven't seen him for a couple of years and had no proof before. It was cool. I had a lot of fun with Julie, watching movies or talking after the kids were in bed. Julie introduced me to sweet potato burritos-my new favorite-and I cooked a few meals to freeze before I left. For me it was a great week, especially playing with the little ones-her two youngest are 17 months and 3 months. It was so fun to snuggle and cuddle that baby. I hope there are babies in heaven because nothing is much sweeter then that.

That picture of you and Jules with Jake by the plane is so stinkin' cool. Remembering you as Kids on base and sleeping over at your house and now seeing you as adults together living your lives...Wow.
I'm not being very eloquent here, but I just had a Mom moment looking at your blog and all the pictures. Must be so satisfying for your parents to see! Your post on visiting your sister and helping out was better than a Mothers Day talk!
