After 4 months in Spain, our girl is finally coming home. Her jubilant father just e-mailed me to tell me the "birdie has landed" at Newark, NJ. By tonight she'll be tucked in to her bed in middle America with visions of Spanish sugarplums dancing in her head.
It is a troubling, joyful truth that we parent-types work to give our children a glimpse of what is possible, even knowing that when they see for themselves, they may never want to come home. For now the birdie is home to roost but she's already planning to fly away again -- and maybe next time, for good.

Aww..that's nice that she'll be home. I have a feeling mine is out now for good. It's a bittersweet feeling. I hope you have a great Christmas! :)
