Tomorrow Eric comes home! Yes! I am so happy and so are the boys. Yet this week went by quickly, and it was very fun. The kids were so well behaved and thoughtful and sweet. Sure, there was some yelling, but that would have been true even with Eric home, because when you have three little boys sometimes you have to be a drill sargent. But other times you get to swim around a big pool in Lake Geneva or play spies or read books about da Bears. (Did you know Sid Luckman took a job coaching the Columbia University football team and refused to be paid for it, insisting the money go to deserving students who wouldn't otherwise be able to attend Columbia. What an incredible guy! And can you even imagine a college football coach doing something like that today?) The cutest and saddest part of the week was when we were video chatting with Eric and Aidan reached his arms up to the computer so Eric could pick him up, and then he started crying because Eric didn't pick him up. If he would start to miss Eric it usually seemed to help if I told him "Daddy's on a big plane up in the sky." And Aidan would reply happily, "Oh wow!" So in Aidan's mind Eric's been flying since he left. I guess he sort of thinks of Eric as an astronaut.
Happy trails.
