I arrived at the train station just as Lauren was calling to tell me she was there. Good timing. Good times. She settled in and played with Lucky to the point that he was laying in front of the water bowl with his head in it, lapping up water between panting spells. Happy dog! Francisco arrived just as we were leaving and worked further on the dirt clearing task. Lauren and I ran a few errands while Jen worked on her colors class homework. It's a very cool curriculum and she's learning some useful skills. After Tommy came home, we picked up dinner at Aqui and visited my mom. Tommy got his acceptance letter from San Jose State. I got the patio cushions out after Jen cleaned up the seating area, so we are ready to start spending our evenings outside! We did so, even dragging out and setting up the heat lamp. I of course await the outbreak of mosquito bites. We had a pleasant evening at home, all of us. These are the little moments that I love to be fully present in. They come and go. What's the Ferris Bueller line, again?
