Woke up way too early this morning. Actually any time this morning would have been way too early.
Had David and Sasha over for dinner... they left at 3:00 in the morning...
At 07:50 the doorbell rings and it's the Ikea delivery. Luckily Desney answered it...
After slowly puttering around the house I left to go pick up Alexandra at the airport. She arrived safe and sound and 15 minutes early.
She talked and talked and talked on the drive home from the airport and told me all about camp. It was wonderful to hear her speak nothing but English for such a long conversation. What was strange, and quite funny actually, was that she had picked up a Billy Elliot accent somewhere.
We got home and she told Desney all of the same stories about camp, with a few new ones thrown in for good measure, and I built her new Ikea bed. Desney too remarked on the accent and we tried desperately not to laught... I fear we did a couple of times...
It was great to hear her speak English so much... it was just so strange to hear her speaking it with such a strong accent, with strong intonations, which wasn't any of ours!
Glad to have her home. Starting to feel like a family again...
