This morning we said goodbye to our dear friend Heidi who had come to visit us before her return to her work in Africa. It was a sweet time together and the girls loved her (of course!).
Shortly afterwards, we discovered/confirmed the presence of bed bugs in Eleanor's bed. It was a hard moment. We did what we could with Erik's help before taking him to work for his call shift. Then, we headed to shop for some supplies to deal with fighting them. Since there was not even bread for sandwiches in the house, we had lunch at Target before shopping. In retrospect, that was a welcome moment to breathe and recharge, sitting in the bright sun, in the midst of a hard day.
Kids enjoying the special cart at Target. They think it's a treat and I get to shop with happy, contained kids. Win-win.
Eleanor's temporary sleeping quarters in our walk-in closet--just big enough to squeeze a twin mattress into.
it was SOOO fun to see you guys! thanks SO much for your hospitality and glad to see things are looking like they're returning to some semblance of normalcy post bugs....sooooo sorry!
