The Worm (Re)Turns!

Ellen and Gretchen and I had a lovely drive up to Chicago, where we spent the afternoon with hilarious little Henry and Betsy - and her ever-growing belly! Even got a moment or two with Papa Pete. We were sorry to leave the warmth and welcome of their household, and put it off as long as possible. But Jean-Philippe's lovin' arms were awaiting us at O'Hare...

...and the fog was awaiting us Out There. Another hairy ride towards home put us directly in harm's way, and found us holing up in a seedy motel for the night. Yikes!
The boys had spent several heartbroken days and nights, wondering if their daddy was ever going to join us again, so they were overjoyed when he not only walked through the door, but... he brought Teddy and Wormy with him! A joyful reunion, indeed!
