Solitude isn't all it's cracked up to be

Mom and Dad left early, early, early on Monday morning. Then Brandon left for a business trip to the UK that evening. He'll be travelling the bulk of the next 2 weeks. To say it's a bit lonely around here would be, well, an understatement. Not to mention, Lydia has been giving me a daily beating. I know, no one said motherhood would be easy. But I would happily settle for moderate or even semi-regular discomfort.

Thankfully, today is a wonderfully joyous day for us. The loneliness has been lifted slightly. The Stone Family (Jon, Emily, Eloise and Lillian) have returned to Prague! We have been looking forward to this day for a year and finally it is here. Lydia can hardly wait to play with Eloise at the park... Hopefully the weather gives us grace and we can make that wish come true.
