I have a few more photos to post from our fun spring break adventures, but I’m side-tracking to post that Calvin is home!! It probably sounds like I’m the worst mom ever when I say that I didn’t miss him, at least not the way people expected me to, but I knew that he was doing great things, that he was learning a lot about the world and himself, and he was only gone 11 days. I barely had time to blink before he was back, full of smiles and stories and though I didn’t “miss” him, I was very happy to have him home.
Final day of spring break — the kids requested brunch at Lilou’s. Sort of a “last supper” kind of thing?
she always snakes my cookie
The famous pain perdu — almond french toast with whipped cream and berries
Waiting at the airport for our world traveler to come home
I think they missed him
He still has a nasty cough, but is fine otherwise
He came bearing gifts — t-shirts and soccer jerseys for the boys and Nutella for Camille.
(Mzungu is Ugandan for “white person,” kind of like gringo in Spanish, but not pejorative)
Hopefully he’ll have time to write up some of his experiences this week for a first-person account of his trip.
