We made it!

After an easy drive from Boston, we arrived at Mom's house at noon today. Hooray! Margaret slept the whole way and seems finally back to her usual cheerful self. Below, photos from the past week:


Checking in at Airport Express in HK


"Which one of these buttons is the unlimited bottle refill?"


the infamous blue couch


"I miss you, Daddy!"


playing with the baby in the mirror


dinner with friends


Like father, like daughter. Margaret loves dogs!


Swinging with David. 
Margaret couldn't take her eyes off him! 


Margaret showing signs of jet lag as we pose for the photo op.


Opening a present from Uncle Ray. Who is more into whom?


Grown-up toys are always more fun than kid toys


But where's the actual camera?


Brunch on 4th of July


Lunch stop in New Haven 


In a beautifully renovated Trumbull College


More swings
These in Brookline, MA


At Mimi's house!
Look at the play station!

"I love you, Daddy!"

SO HAPPY to see more pictures.

Thanks, SAM for spending potential sleeping time to put these up. They make me happy inside to see her after so many days.

You must be EXHAUSTED. I hope that you can get a good night's rest now that you're at your (almost) final destination.

I love you and Margaret so much and am happy to have some visuals to go along with the phone calls we've had. :)

I know I shouldn't say it, but Margaret is SO GREAT!

I'm SO glad they don't block the blog at work. She just makes me smile and smile and smile!

What a satisfying post! Everything from Margaret to the Cabot oats bag to you and then back to Margaret again. This will give us something to look at over and over again until the next posting.

John, why shouldn't you say that Margaret is SO GREAT? She simply is! Of course, she has the monkey to compete with... but they're competing in different age categories, so they can both be SO GREAT. We can share. (OR as the monkey says, Margaret take turn. Monkey take turn. Monkey turn NOW!!)

SAM and Margaret, I am so psyched that we get to see you so soon. xo

Happy Birthday, sweet Sarah!

I am relieved that you are safely in Roz's loving arms and that Margaret is returning to her normal self (however, I have no complaints about the abnormal self that we've been with this past week!)

Thank you for this terrific post and your priceless comments.

Be careful that Margaret doesn't get rewired after some cake and ice cream tonight!!
