Sunday morning most of us went to nearby "The Good Egg" for breakfast. Back at the house, I began packing up my clothes and other belongings for the trip home. Since I had already taken home most of the extra fabric, books and such, everything left fit in the original two suitcases. Then more gifts were opened, more food eaten, and lots of family photos taken to add to the little album I began compiling for e, a small book she will be able to handle, to remind her of those of us she doesn't see daily.
It was fun to see e play with her 3 1/2 year old cousin. While V can be a bit bossy, e held up her end pretty well, and of course we helped V slow down and make allowances for her just-learning-to-walk cousin. While e does move pretty quickly with her walker toy, when V tries to help her along e usually falls because she can't go as fast as V wants.
Then it was time for everyone to leave. K's sister fed the baby before strapping her and V into their car seats and the four of them drove away, headed for southern California. K's mom had rented a car Saturday when they arrived, so she and her husband drove Randy and me to the airport since our flights left within minutes of each other. As the car pulled away from the house, we waved at K, E and e and said, "Goodby, see you soon!"
(There will be more posts, as I have more to say about my experiences. Check back!)
