Monday v.2

First:

SAM'S HOME WITH HIS FAMILY IN THE US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have - literally- been stalking Heather's facebook page ALL DAY for, pictures, updates, simply whatever! Which is pretty hard for me to do actually, so that either speaks to my devotion, or simple need to peer into the life of my sister's family moment by moment from hundreds of miles away. I have instant TV - why not instant photos of homecoming?! (This is me laughing at myself!) I have to be careful to remember that only 15 years ago, such an instant view into someone's life simply wasn't possible. Remarkable... and something we'll have to monitor to make sure the luxury of instant-pictures/updates/emails, etc, doesn't become a demand or a need, but remains an incredible blessing and convenience.

This is also a remarkable week, because Jon got an interesting translating gig in Annapolis, where he has to drive out to Annapolis to proof a translation on a techie device with a group of people checking the other languages. So now we BOTH have to go to work in the morning! It's so interesting to have to go to bed at an early hour for both our benefits, and I have to say it was nice to have him putzing around with me this morning! Of course this comes the week we have to get work done on the apartment during the day.... yeesh. Also I'm somewhat paranoid that he'll get in an accident or something- I have simple gone soft with the luxury of having him at home! He's a safe driver... and will be safer if we get to bed! Bedward Ho!
