We were all so happy today when Kristin finally made it home. Our kitties missed her so much and she is thrilled to be out of the car. 20 hours each way is a long drive, not to mention that she hurt her back in Iowa playing with her niece on the trampoline so it was a particularly uncomfortable trip home. As if that weren't bad enough, Kristin was welcomed home by a ton of blooming plants and trees, and three lovey kitties who missed her and wanted to love her and lick her, which really made her allergies flair up (especially since she hadn't been taking her allergy medication while she was gone). She had a pretty bad asthma attack and has been really stuffed up, so hopefull all the medicine that she took tonight will help . At least the weather guy was right and it did get warm enough for a few tulips show up for her arrival home (I planed a bunch of red ones too. Don't ask me where those are).

As planned, Riley came over to spend the night and the evening went really well. His friend Britton that he hasn't seen since last year came over to play, then we made popcorn, played games and watched a move, Ghostbusters 2 (guess who picked that one out?). It has been over 2 years since Riley has slept over. I'm so glad that he finally trusts us enough again. Here are some favorite moments from the evening.

| Riley was so impressed at this "new" way to make popcorn |
 |
| Riley was so excited about the homemade popcorn, but later after he tasted it he suggested to Kristin that the next time we are at the store we should look for the kind that comes in a box that says "Theatre" on it. |

| Good Night! |
