and he's off

again.

but this time i am really excited for him. he is going to santa rosa. if you don't know where it is here:



he will be visiting our long lost friend. he is now married with kids and has become all grown up. mr. mccee and i worked with him a long time ago, and we lived together in a great big house in nw. he also was brave and followed us on our beach adventure. i love and adore him to this day and i can't wait for the updates.

he will also be visiting his child hood home in a small town north of santa rosa called cloverdale. he grew up in a 14 room victorian home. when i first met him i didn't believe it until he showed me pictures from his childhood. i can't wait to see how it has transformed. neither can his mom. he is taking the camera on this trip! hopefully he will find some time to work between visiting...

and, he won't be gone the whole week. thank goodness. but he will miss visiting with his future brother in laws folks, who i can't wait to meet! sucker. he will still have a great time and we will just have to fill each other in on all of the good stuff.

the kids are doing great. mr. f has grown so much this summer. i am so proud of the super accomplishments he has made. he has always been so sweet and gentle, but he adores his brother and they can entertain each other for hours. the other night they were snuggled up in mr. d's bed and mr. f was making up stories. it was awesome.
