It has only been one month since we departed California. It feels like six. After our movers packed up the house on a Monday, they took it all away the following day. I was thankful that Emerson could spend those two days at his preschool across the street while all his toys were packed into 100 boxes.
We spent our last night in Santa Monica at our dear friends house. Then, a redeye
flight brought us into Chicago early where Kevin left us for business meetings. Emerson and I got on a second, and much smaller plane to Traverse City, MI, to visit Amy and his best buddy Teddy! We landed at the Cherry Capitol airport and drove along gorgeous Lake Michigan to Northport Point, (see borrowed image from wikipedia) and Amy's "new" summer home - a 20s cabin. It was amazing to see Amy and Teddy (who upon seeing Emerson did his break-dance routine), Silja - who is now walking! - and meet their Finnish au pair, Nora. Time flew once there. Kevin joined us for the weekend. We did fireworks (to E's and T's dismay), antique shopped, cooked, the boys had Fairy School, and we played a little golf. The cabin was last updated in the 50s (no dishwasher!) and it is located right on the beach. They will restore the cabin to its Craftsman glory - it will be amazing. I can't wait to see them again...
