We can’t go home again…
but we can try. The SBird fam is off tomorrow morning for the east coast, the first time SBird has been home to her parents’ house in almost a decade. I hear the hometown has changed (!)–as my sister put it, it’s become “fast and air-conditioned.” The Bee will meet her other set of grandparents (my parents), and her aunt and uncle, and two cousins. Should be fun times. We will also celebrate The Bee’s SECOND BIRTHDAY on August 1st. Wow is all I can say about that…
Yesterday, we had a playdate (and sad goodbye time) with OmegaMom and OmegaDottir and OmegaGranny. The girls enjoyed coloring together–although sharing is a challenge for The Bee, who tries hard but still wants what she wants when she wants it:
and also playing the ’stack-the-hands’ game (that’s OmegaMom’s hand, guiding The Bee a wee bit in the way to play the game):
At some point, OmegaDottir figured out she could pick The Bee up:
which The Bee thought was the FUNNEST thing evah:
The SBird family wishes the Omegas a very safe trip to Alaska and a grand new adventure living in the last American frontier!!!
Such cute pictures but how can they not Bee, featuring those two girls? Bon voyage, SBird family. Best of luck with toddler traveling and going home again.

We had such a lovely time with you two! The Bee is a darling girl, and so smart! Have fun with the family; cousins are great to get to know.

Darn cute kids there.
First time home in over a decade? Well this will be a fun trip indeed! I wish you a safe and lactose free journey that is full of happy cousins and more pictures that you want to send us. Oh…and an early happy happy birthday to The Bee.

Well, I’m 34 and sadly, I still want what I want when I want it. It actually might be my motto.
Safe journey! I’d say you should swing up to NY and visit, but we’re going to be on an island in Vermont!

This girl is the most Photogenic Evah..! What a great series of shots.
Note that the “teeny movie player in the seat back” is a toddler lifesaver. Little Pea lasted more than 3 hours of a 7 hour cross-country flight watching the Pixar “Cars” movie on that little screen. Dad and Mom got some much-needed rest, thank you very much…
Have a great trip!
