Oh thank goodness! Andy comes home tonight! He left last Saturday at 6am (and didn't get to say good-bye to Carter), and has been in sunny California. At the IBM conference he, Dan, and Donna attended, he gave a presentation. 8 people signed up; 50+ came! It went well. I think he met California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
But tonight (at 11pm), he comes home!
To welcome him, we made a nice sign (and cleaned the home up - now it only looks like a minor disaster versus the federal state of emergency that it's looked like all week!). We stripped down to the basics, and got out the paper and markers and went to town!
... my God, I'm glad he's home tonight!!!

The Master, perfecting her craft
After about three minutes of careful, thoughtful drawing, all hell broke loose!

So ... that's a nice tattoo ...

AHHHHHHHHHHH!

Yeah ... she's totally sorry for coloring on my kitchen floor! Totally ...

"Hugs to all my adoring fans! Love, Punky!"

"What's this crap all over me?!?"
<Sidebar: how come it's cute for Carter to have a big ol' tummy, but it's not cute for me to have a big ol' tummy? That's stupid!>
WECOME HOME, DADDY! WE HEART YOU LOTS!

Great googly moogly she is a cutie!! And I agree, why can't I be cute with my big belly!!! :)
