What being home looks like for Audrey: Story time with big brother Aaron at the annual before-school Parents and Pastries event, walking into preschool again and hanging up her coat on her labeled hook, being bear hugged by her classmates, story time with Daddy in his papa bear chair the morning after he arrived home from his business trip, introducing her new turtles to the rest of the turtle family and cutting off the hospital name band that had been sweetly put around the neck of the one she carried into the operating room, showing her awesome guitar to Gideon and playing with Grandpa and Grandma. What being home looks like for me: lots of hugs, filling the request for a volunteer to read a Dr Suess book to Aaron's sixth grade class (earning cool points with him and his friends), beaming with pride at both my older sons' contributions to their school reading and citizenship programs, and attending the open house of the Provo City Center Temple in what our friend Anna calls "the TA-DA nick of time" before it ends this weekend.

She walked in to preschool slightly nervously, saying
"Hi guys, sorry I took so long. I was on a long airplane trip." |
