My mom and dad left today; as evidence of how spoiled I got while they were here, I didn't prepare or eat lunch for myself until 3 p.m. when I finally boiled some pasta and threw shredded cheese on it. A far cry from the daily menu of stir-fries and steak we've been having around here!
Valerie cried and cried this morning when they left.
Here are some photos of our excursion to the Arboretum on Saturday (where she also nursed for, apparently, the last time...!)
great photos. it was nice to meet your mum. wsk cries too when the grandp's leave now. it's just so sad. when we were in dc my dad said that he almost just came back!

Your parents look great! Your mom doesn't look like she's aged a day since I last saw them...which was MANY years ago. Glad you had a good visit.
