Wednesday, December 31


Catherine left for the United Arab Emirates today (after weeks of delay.) Richard has been there already for a month! Today was sad- I lost my partner in crime! We used to spend part of every day together! Steve, Kerry, Sam, Lily, and Aunt Barb all came to the airport to bid her Bon Voyage! We then spent the rest of New Year's Eve together playing games, Wii, and hanging out. John spent most of the night working on wiring electrical in the nursery (by his own choice! He loved it!) while the rest of us played games and ate Chinese food. We counted down to "midnight" at ten p.m. for the kids then they went home to bed. John and I welcomed the New Year by Skyping with Richard (it was 11 am his time), then watching the ball drop in Times Square on TV. We loved being at home cozy in our bed when the clock struck midnight (although the years of me climbing up on stage at Port'o'Call to kiss him at 12 were fun, too.)
