All Together

Last night I went and met the train and went to the platform to watch two little waif-like characters descend with their backpacks on. I quickly heard "Mommy!" Music to my ears.

Kyri wanted to be held and give me kisses while Ben was piping up, "Mom, I wasn't bad" in a tone of incredulity. All evening long, when Kyri would break from kissing her sister and telling us how "cute" and "gorgeous" she was, she would hug Mike and me and say, "I missed you." Truly precious.

Though now that they are back, it feels like a 3-ring circus is underway, we're glad. Mike relapsed into fever and chills again and so we gave him the night off to sleep and my mom helped me feed the baby. It will be interesting when we are on our own.
