The aftermath of missing the family reunion continues. I missed it and wished I was there but the ridiculous price of plane tickets made me face reality - just too much money for a trip so short and far away. Darby expressed regret that weekend, but kept it together for the most part. But the storm finally hit on yesterday. I think if you combine the increased 5th grade workload, the change associated with hitting double digits, plus the distance from home, a girl like Darby is due for a dramatic reaction to all of the above.
The good thing, which is such a relief, is that Roxy senses everything that Darby is feeling and manages to become a comedian. She really does have incredible timing. The moment she knew that Darby was down, Roxy immediately thought about getting her big sis a lollipop that she would like and then worked all evening on keeping up her sister's spirits. What a gal...we sure did need a nuturer like her in this house.
