We traveled home to Decatur, Illinois on Wednesday, just the girls and I for the first time on our own. I couldn't have asked for better behaved daughters yesterday - they were perfect for me, to the extent that the man sitting in front of us complimented me on well-behaved kids - I thanked him for making my week! So we had a safe arrival, were met by the cousins and my sister at the airport, and had a nice midwestern evening of "playing outside in the front yard until the sun goes down, " just like I remember doing as a kid - but back then, living in safer times, and refusing to call it a night, we went inside to grab flashlights to play flashlight tag and glass jars to catch fireflies. My girls witnessed their first game of "double dutch" jump rope and I am adamant about teaching them how to catch fireflies during this visit. They are in heaven being home with so much attention and having their cousins to play with. We miss them daily way out there in California!
