Once a year is not enough


It has been several weeks since they got on the plane and flew back to Honduras.  It was time. Dave was home from the hospital and on the road to recovery, they needed to get on with their lives and so did we.  But did they have to take that little guy with them?  Long distance grand parenting is hard.  It is not like I have an extra $1000 to hop on a plane every time I need a grand baby fix. That could get expensive.  I don't know what I would do without Skype, but even that isn't perfect and toddlers don't always want to cooperate.  Imagine that.

It was a blessing that Dave was able to be home for a week with them (immune system intact) and not have to worry about germs, etc. before they had to leave.  Nothing like the motivation of a little one running around to make you forget about yourself for awhile.

For now, I guess we have to be satisfied with scanning through our pictures, recalling memories and making plans for the next visit.

The things we did to get that boy to take a nap!
