full house.....

ok, so we will be five at supper this evening....six when you count grand-ma......i drive to l-ville this afternoon to fetch the middle child fresh from finishing up a 10-page paper and lugging his non-storage stuff to the airport via the train. .....his visit will be brief, as he heads back to france....and this internship-driven trip will be so short that even i have made no plans for a visit to coincide.....there will some overlap in the summer when both boys will be home again.....just before the eldest flies to berlin to start his grand tour.....his taste of the greater continent before he settles into a school year teaching english in austria.....i am making mental plans to visit at least once with my spouse and once with my daughter.....and maybe sending the middle child for the holidays.....we shall see......so many comings and goings.......isn't this what we raise our children up to do....to leave home only to visit then and again?......but for tonight, i will savor the full membership of our c-dub clan.......
