So long, Farewell,...


Sunday: 
The five Millers snuggled on the couch this morning. Babies fed and burped, Caleb snuggled and fed breakfast. We slowly woke, all in the same room. Britta came in the door about 9am with an agenda of things to get done and babies to kiss. She would be leaving by 1:00, so time suddenly felt extremely quick and sneaky. 

Britta did a thorough cleaning of the stove top and counter next to it. Love a clean kitchen! Then we took some great pictures of the kids.

About noon I made Britta a little lunch and then it was time for hugs goodbye. Caleb of course made it a game of tickles and tackling instead of a sweet hug.  

I drove her back to Land to Air depot. The next time we hug in person will likely be our sister Greta's wedding in September. Until then it will be Skype. I'm so grateful she came and she got this time with our children.  

My Aunt Bev, Gene's sister, came to visit this afternoon. She had cute gifts and arms ready to hold babies. She got Mollie and Will a gift to grow in to, jackets inspired from the yearly Rendezvous in Albert Lea. So cute! It was sweet of her to come and so good to see her! 

The rest of the day Mollie and Will wanted to be held. It's like they knew help had left, Caleb wanted to play, and Josh as in the basement working on a taxidermy deadline. But they are too cute to get upset. It just meant limited naps. Josh did come up every couple hours to help and give me a break.

Finally it was night and everyone slept quite well.
