as a birthday gift to herself, auntie jen flew back to san diego
to relax and visit family and friends! she visited with friends
and old coworkers during the week and spent the weekend with
our family watching an outdoor movie {pele}, attending scout's
soccer game, visiting sea world, celebrating her birthday with
krispy kreme donuts, and visiting belmont park the night before
she flew back to florida.
i didn't get near as much time as i would have like
{the boys either} but we were grateful for the time we had.
the day after she left, out of the blue, scout said "i wish aunt
jen hadn't moved away. i like hanging out with her and i miss
the sleepovers we used to have".
it's only been 2 years since she has lived here, and though it
doesn't seem like that much to an adult, to a kid, it can seem
like a lifetime.
i reminded him that auntie jen loves him LOTS... no matter
how far away she lives. i also reminded him that we will be
seeing her very soon, along with grandma and grandpa, auntie
and uncles, and cousins! we are overdue and are all excited.
