We do realize that this post is long overdue, but our adventures are keeping us so busy that we scarcely have time to tell everyone about them. As our five year wedding anniversary approached we developed a plan to make a stop over in Delaware to visit with friends and family before heading up to our second home of Nova Scotia. We planned it so that we would arrive just in time for the last day of school. Pie Girl was able to surprise her lovely class that she missed so much. And boy were they were surprised! They all stampeded to get over to the door and proceeded to hug. It was a big group hug and they nearly squeezed the life out of Pie Girl. We finally were able to get them to scatter a bit so we could all breathe better. Being able to attend school on that last day also allowed Pie Girl to see all of her school friends. Some of them knew she was coming, but others were just as surprised as the kids. It was so nice to be back at Heritage. Everything was just the same as it was in December and it was quite comforting to be there even though it was just as hot as we remembered. People in San Diego just don't know what hot is- they complain that it is hot when it is 78 degrees with no humidity. I don't think so.
A smaller version of the beginning group hug.
Three members of the Mrs. W. fan club.Friday basically involved a lot of sweating and moving of boxes. Pie Girl had to clean out her classroom (sniff) and figure out what to do with all the junk.
We were able to spend some QT with our former roommates and friends, Kristen and Michael on Saturday. We were totally bummed that we wouldn't be able to stick around for their wedding which was a couple of weeks away. We really enjoyed seeing all of the changes they had made to Ferret Commune since we saw it last. Michael has been particularly busy preparing the backyard for the big day. The day ended with us crashing in our old bedroom. Ah, memories.
Sunday was Mother's Day! Well, at least it was the day we declared as Mother's Day. We were able to get most of the old crowd over with the addition of Aunt Binnie. She put in a specific request for a girl, but we'll just have to wait and see... if only it were that easy! Like Dirt Doc, Aunt Binnie does not like having her picture taken. Although she did allow us to take a few, we're going to respect her wishes by not posting her face all over the Internet, maintaining her status as an enigma. Anyway, we surprised the motherly figures in our life in the same way we surprised Mom, Momma, and The Commander, but instead of a fortune we added a funny poem about Harry becoming a 'big brother'.
My indispensable assistants. Hey, can you guys take this thing over next year?
After the tea party we were entertained by a piano concert starring most of the extended Gispert Clan. Can it get any better? Surprisingly, it does! Part II coming soon!
