It was still early enough to see some of the I-8 El Centro sights:

We took our exit.

And enjoyed the Imperial Valley sunrise. 

We passed Glamis. 

It was here that I ended up driving again.

It was a very smelly and long and uncomfortable trip home. And that is all I will say about that. 

Karl had dinner all ready for me when I got home.
Mirah and I couldn’t stop hugging and smiling at each other. I missed this little face so much. 

We had Fondant Potatoes and Lasagna.
The kids were very happy about it. 

I just love these kids.
Monday was a day of laundry and more hugs. 

Everything they did seemed more cute and special. 

Lucas wouldn’t let me take his picture. 

We watched cartoons together in the afternoon.
I don’t know if you can tell, but they are both laying on me.
I think they missed me too.
