All good things must come to an end...today we had to take Auntie Caridad to the airport and say goodbye! It was so nice to see her again, but it felt like our time was short and too busy. What with shopping and baking and cooking (and the fact that we did not get even a full week with her) it was gone before we had even started. I didn't even get to shop the sales with her :(
The children loved having some extra attention and I was SO grateful for all of the help she provided. I just wish we all lived closer and we could get together more often.
I realized this morning, that in all of the hustle and bustle I did not have a single shot of her with the kids, or with me. So minutes before we were meant to leave, I insisted on trying to take a couple. Well Asia did not want to cooperate (of course) and so there are still none of just her with the kids but it did mean I was able to get in on the action.
Arran and Bryttain are fascinated by the fact that she has a boyfriend in America, even though she lives in England. Hopefully at some point here we will get to meet him. Should make for more frequent visits, is the upside. Not that we are thinking selfishly from our point-of-view at all, of course. I'm pushing for a visit in the Summer - we can do the beach, and wine tasting and spend time outdoors.
Surely one would want to spend time with ones boyfriend at least every six months, right?!
