Belly Dancer's Nightcap

Sister Express Delivery

I know, I've been falling behind again. The boys have been and are sick. My boys are strong and healthy but these things hit us hard. We are never sick. I can count on one hand the times Jack has been sick and at almost 18 months this is only the second time Ian's been sick. We are coping well enough and I'm just praying their misery goes away soon for their sake and so we can all have a great visit with Amy and Gemma.

When I go to bed tonight Amy will be out there somewhere flying with her baby that I've never met to come see me. You have no idea how happy I am that she can come. It has been almost two years since I've seen her. I just called her and she was putting together little Valentines and a package for her family. What a great Mom:)

I'd like to thank Amy's in-laws for helping make this happen. They'll be helping out with caring for the four children left behind. "Thank You, David and Mary!" And if you think of it say a little prayer for Amy on her long flight to Germany with a baby on her lap the whole way. She hasn't flown since she was 17! Things have changed a bit since then, eh? I really hope she has a nice flight with good movies, plenty of tea refills, help with Gemma when needed, kindly folks next to her and those nice hot towels soaked in Lavender that they bring you before bed and in the morning. If I hadn't been squished between a car seat and a largish pastor from France plus eight months pregnant I might have thought I was at the spa with a crowd of people when I flew over:)

Who needs TV? (We don't have it) Jack pausing mid-play to listen to Peter and the Wolf:)
