And the Tree is Still Standing

We "decked the halls" last weekend before I left for a work conference Sunday ~ Wednesday, and I am pleased to say the tree is still standing. Actually, Walter did a great job with the girls while I was gone, and broke the habit of us sitting in the room with them at bedtime until they fall asleep. That's right. Since Sunday night the lights get turned out and the girls stay in bed and fall asleep by themselves.

It was so hard to leave the girls for so long, and I nearly had a nervous breakdown before I left. I missed them so much when I was gone, but that made seeing their sweet faces last night almost worth the trip.
