Back from the Russell reunion. It was a lovely time, as always. It's so good for my kids to catch up with their Russell aunts and uncles and cousins. We found an awesome swimming hole with 30 foot cliffs around it. Darren jumped off the highest cliff and Anna and Conor jumped off several lower ones. That was probably the best part...

We had to get Anna to the plane in Albuquerque for her trip to Washington D.C. yesterday evening, so we tore across Arizona to get her there on time.

Poor kid, she had to fly all night to get there. She landed in D.C. at 6:30 or so our time. I miss her terribly already. I hope she has a great time.
