Memories

Things I want to remember about Dan's and Kerry's visit:

* Seeing them for the first time and thinking they look exactly like they do in their pictures online except that Dan was taller than I thought.

* Watching them meeting our girls for the first time and watching how much our girls enjoyed the books they brought as gifts (books I doubt we can get in the U.S., by the way).

* Showing them the building where our state government is based (is it capital or capitol, darn it) and telling them, we do a few buildings kind of like you do in Europe.

* Eating lunch in the top corner window at Noodles on State Street.

* Laughing, laughing, laughing

* Having really good food and wonderful conversation around the table at Delmonico's.

* Watching Dan drive on the right side of the road and thinking that I don't believe I want to try driving on the wrong side of the road anytime soon.

* Sitting outside on the patio at House on the Rock.

* Asking Kerry if she could stay and be our English nanny.

* Saying goodbye and being sad.

It was fun and now it's over. Onward---
