And they're off....

Kim, Skoot, Jakob, and Christopher flew to Colorado today. They picked me up at 5:30 a.m. for the drive to Birmingham airport. We stopped at Jack's drive through for a breakfast biscuit then were off....

You can see who was watching the

camera and who was concerned with

mundane things like checking their luggage

Skoot and Kim posed for a quick one
and the boys got in a family shot

This was as close as I could get

to being in line with them at

security

Jakob stuck with Dad

Topher went through ahead of Kim

Then, there I was, standing at the top of the concourse watching them go through security all atwitter with excitement while the German shepherd made his rounds. It was bitter sweet when they all turned to wave at me one last time. I made my way back to the EX and headed back to Jasper. Buck called and asked if I wanted to meet him for breakfast at MickeyD's. Well of course! I enjoyed a second nosh with him then on to my day. Did an errand or two and came home to clean. Mother and Teresa are eating with us on Christmas Eve and they both have SPOTLESS houses....no pressure!

Love you all and Happy first day of winter!!
