The parting of the ways

Within a few hours after school was out, Reeve and Tracy were off on a half-way around the world trip to spend some time with Tracy's family. It is almost exactly 24 hours since they left, and according to the flight status, they have yet to even arrive in Atlanta. So it will still be quite a bit longer until they get to Toledo.

Meanwhile, Doug and the girls are holding down the fort here. The house seems incredibly quiet, but with the benefit of still having 2 sets of grandparents around -- it shouldn't be too bleak.

On Saturday afternoon, we made our way down to Doug's parents place, where there was lots of fun swimming followed by a delicious taco dinner. A huge plus is all of the attention that the girls are getting. Grandma Ramona has sure done her share of reading to Gabi during her many visits over the past few years! She's also been plenty busy playing horses.

Wow, what a blur. It sure is great to be on Christmas break, but it seems like we haven't even had a chance to stop and breathe since we arrived in July.

What a trip. When will Tracy and Reeve be coming to visit Indianapolis? And, more importantly, will they be home with you for Christmas?
