Visitor!

Well, it was going to be 6 visitors!  But hurricane Sandy took that figure down to 1.  But a very special and enjoyable 1 she was.  I fear we did absolutely nothing to make her pre-conference visit special, and Asher had a fairly significant allergic reaction to something (we think) on the first day of her visit, so that slowed us down, too.  [sidenote:  poor Asher!  I worry about that kid!  He seems to be sick a lot.]  But she was very obliging, and like the capable supermom she is, stepped right in to finish the chili I started (OK, let's be honest, all I got done was chopping the onion before I was pulled away and she finished everything and made cornbread too.  Without the proper pan...which I don't want for Christmas...no room in the inn ;).

Then, her little brother got her to do his dirty work (isn't that typical?):

 
But she also got as much time as she wanted to do plenty of this (can't get away from little kids, even when you fly across country!):

Thanks for the chance to spend a little time together!  Hopefully next time the hurricane will take the rain check!
