Back to California






We made a quick trip over to Jeff and Paula's house yesterday and came bearing an oatmeal cake to share. Maleia had her very own cupcake and boy was she excited about it. First the icing, then the cake. She also loved playing with one of Emily's stuffed animals. She gave Paula a big hug and kiss when we left to go to the park. She would have spent all day in the park moving from swing to swing if we let her.

Daniel, Shannon and Maleia's flight was at 10:00 this morning, so we left for the airport at 7:30. It sure was hard to see them go. Maleia gave both of us a big, long hug . . . . almost like she knew what was happening. It will probably be 5 months before we see her next and, when we do, she will have a new baby brother.

The house is quiet, empty and even the pick-up truck looks funny without the car seat in the back. The six days just flew by, but we are so thankful that they were able to visit us here and meet our many friends.
