Bethannie Heads Home

Like a whirlwind, Hurricane Bethannie came and went, leaving this morning for her 15-hour trip back to Colorado. It was a long drive for just a two-day visit, but we're all glad she came.

As usual, Payton took her mommy's departure hard. Peter and I spent extra time with Payton, and we all played hooky today. Visits to the Pumpkin Patch and to the apple orchard for cider doughnuts and berry-picking did distract her for a bit. By this afternoon, Payton was her sweet, funny self again (ah, to be 10!)
