home at last!

sorry for the silence, but we've been enjoying james being home
AT LAST!!!!
in honor of his homecoming, we ate chinese food for dinner on monday. (except for james - it seems being adventurous and trying the exotic foods of his host country did a little number on his digestive tract.) the kids had fun using chopsticks, and managed to eat quite a lot of noodles with them. i was impressed!


james generously jumped into mr. mom - mode yesterday. two friends and i traveled down to the church cannery in nashville to increase our food storage. here they are in the attractive hair nets and rubber gloves we got to wear. (they promised to take a picture of me the next time we go. um.... yeah, we'll see.)

also, yesterday, i went to a farewell dinner for my great friend, bethany, who is moving to italy with her family for three years. i will miss her so much, but am excited to visit her while she's there!

dove' il bano? i'm set!


(this is bethany with her mom - two craft queens! seriously - they can slipcover anything.)

anyhoo, we are so wonderfully happy to have james home again and he has been quickly restored as favorite parent - his rightful place, of course. it was so fabulous to have the day yesterday to get my stuff done, and to be able to leave the kids in his capable (and possibly dozing) hands. we love you, james!!
