It was so nice to connect with my niece and nephews. I'm finally sort of cool in Ben's eyes because I can answer 95% of his Star Wars questions. I love his hugs. His sister is so different than Anna. It's nice to have a counterpoint. I'm so lucky to have them in my life.

My niece's dance recital was amazing. I seriously had tears in my eyes at least three times, and I'm not an overly emotional person.

And it was so nice to get home! Darren gave me a dozen roses. The kids did laundry.

This weekend is the Russell family reunion. I dread going, but I know I will have a ball.
