Mama left today. Paul and I drove her to the airport this afternoon, through construction and traffic and yet we got there at the time we had chosen. It was really sad to see her go! There were long hugs and tears goodbye. Thank you Mama for the visit, for feeding us yummy dinners, sightseeing with us, playing with Paul and reading him stories. Please come again soon! We love you!!!





Anton made it home just after Paul and I did and we both commented on how empty our house seams now. Hopefully we will be able to go home soon and visit all of our Russian family.

On a less sad note, not only did I direct us through all of that traffic minus my GPS(because it kept loosing reception), I got us home as well and found a nice parking spot, Hurray! Parking has been the biggest annoyance here so far. I loath finding parking!
