And… we're back. A few days of radio silence here, explained by a visit from Grandma Dina and Grandpa Ron, a busy weekend, and Imogene being sick today. I also keep falling asleep on the couch. So, I am finally posting again.

The girls did a lot of swimming over the weekend – first at the new indoor pool at Wilson, then at Grampy and Nana's house Saturday evening, and at our friend Catherine's pool yesterday. We also had a short but nice visit from Grandma and Grandpa. They only stayed for one night but we enjoyed seeing them a lot. Unfortunately, Grandpa took home a souvenir from the trip – M's virus. And Imogene has it too, which means that the girls spent the day at my office today. It hasn't been my most productive day ever, but I did get some work done. Thank you to my TMG colleagues for entertaining them for me so I could get pockets of work done.

Buppie babysat last night so Daddy and I could see a movie. M left a note for the Tooth Fairy asking for her teeth back, and A left a note too thanking her for the gifts last time. M's teeth reappeared in the tooth fairy pillows this morning – magic!

Hopefully Imogene will be back tomorrow – we are crossing our fingers that she will feel better.

So here finally are some pictures from Spain. These are some of my favorites:
