Relaxing day at home

Today was a great time. I got to lay in the bed with Vanessa and Ellie this morning like I love to do on the weekends. We had a block party and met several of our neighbors that we didn't know. Far more people showed up than I expected. We had a lazy afternoon and then went to have some sushi. We walked around the Avenue and did some shopping. I bought a couple of books about Afghanistan to read on the trip to Kansas. We bought Ellie a couple of books as well. One of them is her first book of Bible stories. What a great time. I'll miss my girls again next week but it will be another great homecoming next week!
