Yeah baby

They are coming home! Toby returned a couple days ago from his adventures in grandpa's world. These adventures included bb guns, slingshots, lots of tools, bow and arrows and a canoe ride. How can a mother top that? Not that I in any way condone those activities but being not related to grandpa by blood has it's disadvantages.

Tristan comes home this morning after a long ride on the ferry. I have never been away from her this long and I really missed her. Yet, I'm sure we both enjoyed the break as well. My 8 year old girl is precocious and beautiful and a know it all. She thinks that everything I say is wrong. I keep telling her that I'm actually kind of smart. I am a university graduate. I even have a most of a masters degree. Means nothing.

She won't say she loves me. I bug her on the phone "I love you Tristan..." and she says "uh-huh". She's a tough nut.
