Home Again

Vacation is over and I am very sad. I was anxious about having a two year old in the car for 7 hours on the return trip, but she did well. The first leg of the return trip was three hours and it was just Manther and I. She got a bit fussy at the end, but there was little I could do to improve the situation in Chicago traffic. I told her to hang tight and eventually she quieted down. When we arrived at her Aunt's in Chicago, I turned around to find she had colored herself green and pink with markers. She completely covered her arms up to the elbows and created a nice pattern on her face. I started to yell but then stopped myself. If that's the worst that happens in 14 hrs of travel time, I need to be very grateful.
