Erin's spring break has begun, and she and I flew to Pennsylvania yesterday to spend the week with my parents! We haven't seen them since we were here in July, which is the longest I've ever gone without seeing them. It's so great to be here! They've now been in their new house for over a year, and it's fun to see all the changes that they've made since the last time were visited. Like a lot of people, I wasn't sure how it would feel to visit my parents in a house other than the one where I grew up, but this house is definitely still "home." It just feels right, and I still feel very much like I belong here. Awww... We got in quite late last night and it was around 1:30am before we went to bed, so it was no surprise that we got a kind of late start to the day today. That's fine. This isn't a trip for a ton of running around, but one for just spending time together. That's the best kind of visit, if you ask me. I broke out the camera first thing, though, and started making memories!
It was quite nice of my mom to have fresh flowers for me to "play" with! I'm sure I'll be taking many more of these as the week goes on.
Miss Espi spent much of the night with me. I left one crazy puss behind only to find this one! She is so funny. When I was making my bed last night before climbing into it, I pulled the mattress out a bit to tuck in the sheet (it's a daybed with a trundle underneath) and found Espi squashed on top of the trundle's mattress, under the springs of mine. Um, there's only around 6" of space there, and Espi weighs over 20 pounds. I have no idea how she fit there. She's a nut, but a cute nut, even if she has an extremely funky haircut right now!
And this is Niko! Niko's a new addition to my parents' house, and he's too cute for words. Very loveable and sweet, and so happy all the time. He and Espi are still trying to find their version of peace, but I have no doubts that they'll eventually be great friends.
It's sure to be a great and fun-filled week!
