welcome home

pat returned home (uneventfully) last thursday evening. we were all happy to have him home. the girls helped me make cheesecake and signs. we didn't get everything done that we had hoped for (we bought dinner on drive home from airport), but we tried to welcome him home without too much usual chaos.

we're glad to have him home, but also glad that he was able to support his family. kirsten's funeral has been delayed until her mother can attend (she's still in the hospital). pat did make it in time (just barely) for a memorial service with high school friends and then his family gathered sunday evening to share memories with each other.

quotables

"is that lily holding baby lily?" -lily's response when i showed her a picture of gracie holding her when lily was a baby.

"drama class is actually a lot of fun." -gracie (this is only humorous in that grace seemed surprised by how much she likes drama class. this from my child who we refer to as "a drama queen" when she is not around.)

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.

"mommy, they have dress-ups for you!" -lily while walking by the prom dress section at macy's.

"i said the prayer "last"-erday." -lily's replacement word for "yesterday."
