My Heart is Going Pitter Patter

 Tomorrow, if the Lord wills it, 

my kiddos, Mom and Georgia will return home.

Home from a week of fun, service and learning.

They have called the past three nights.

Two evenings at .99 per minute.

Last evening from Mom's cell phone as they 

were approaching land.

Can't wait to see the kiddos and our moms.

It has been quiet in the neighborhood!

The morning they left.  Mikey was not very cooperative for pictures.  I'm thinking it was nerves and the fact that it was morning!

The stories we have heard already are sweet.

I'm hoping for photos to go along with them 

so I will hold off on sharing them.

Just a bit longer.

My heart is also going pitter patter because 

there has been no dessert in this house for a week.

I admit that I did find a scrumptious peanut butter cream pie

when we ventured out the other evening.

(Chelsea, I must take you there to try it.

You could add it to your list!)

And for once, just once, because I never get the 

chance to really miss dessert when Miss Chelsea is 

here, last night I craved brownies with walnuts.

Alas, I decided not to turn the oven on to 

bake them...so no brownies.

Perhaps that might be the first thing my 

sweet girlie makes when she gets home.

Nothing fancy like these that you've made before....

Really Chelsea.

I want the old fashioned very chocolaty 

brownie.  Maybe a touch of ice cream on top.

Oh, and we must go and pick strawberries

for shortcake....

Ahhhh....things can come back into focus with 

all of them back at home.
