Did you know in the summer the sun is awake at 5:30 in the morning? Know how I know? I put my two oldest babies on a plane this morning early, before the winter sun would be awake... but that summer sun... well, it's an early bird. I waved good-bye at 5:45 to an excited Natalie and a crying Ainsley as I handed them off to my sister-in-law who flew with them to California.

I will miss my babies, but will see them again in two weeks. Ideally I will find a house for our family in those two weeks. And they will have fun with Marmi and Pop.
