They've Arrived!


In the airport moments before they went through security. Bronwyn sent us a note today telling us about their wonderful journey, and hinting at a sweet apartment that I know she will already have started to make beautiful in that way only she has. 


Elliot and Oliver ... oh okay, and your parents, I guess ... I miss you already! 


And I have decided that to be able to bear it, I need five kids for five Events. I went on an Event every month with Elliot or Oliver. It was a chance to hang out and to get a book, and then to enjoy a beverage and a chat.


You should be between 10 and 14 and you HAVE to like reading! Any takers?


Aoife, I'm signing you up first of all!


Asher, what about you? (We might have to smuggle your Mom along too!)


Elliot and Oliver: get back here soon ... xoxo

    Wouldn't shock me at all if Chase would love that!

    From the limited amount of times I've got to talk with him, I've thought that Chase is a cool kid; if he's in, I'm in!

    A fantastic idea! This would be something Asher would love to be involved in.

    Aoife's a girl after my own heart - no early mornings if I can ever help it ...

    If you're wondering why I said I needed buddies for five Events when Elliot and Oliver are gone for six months - well, it so happens that I have a super special "niece" named Chloe in Bangalore, and I'm counting on her for the Event in March if I make it out there this year ...

    Cathryn - BDP - you can have an Event any time you choose! And I'm currently rereading Anna so you get bonus points for that ...

    Chloe, by the time I see you, Elliot will be turning 15 so you'll still be legit! Cath, I'm starting to question your age, though ...
