What a wonderful summer it has been! I've had so much fun and a big part of it has been because of our friend Marie, who had to go back to Sweden yesterday. We've had such a great time together and she was really like family to me, my mom and my dad. So we wanted to give Marie a grand send off and started her party with lunch on Monday...me and my friends were there to say good-bye.
Here's Mia - she was sad to see Marie go, too, but happy to have the chance to bid a fond farewell to our Swedish friend. Mia is turning 1 tomorrow and I know she's starting to get excited about her party this weekend...YAY Mia!
And there's Chandler and his mom - he was having kind of a tough day because he had even more teeth coming in...what a trooper! Despite his pain and lack of sleep, he was determined to spend the afternoon with us...and to see Marie one last time (well, for now, that is...we know she'll be back soon!!!)
And the party continues into dinner!!! Here I am with my dad and Marie at one of our favorite restaurants in South Norwalk. We were so sad that Marie was leaving but also happy for her to be on her way to see her family and friends in Sweden again.
Here is Marie in front of the American Airlines terminal at JFK...after many, many hours of packing, Marie and my mom hopped in the car and headed for the airport. And then following a teary good-byes she was off...
My mom got an email from Marie today and she arrived home safe and sound - and she slept almost the entire time on the plane; this week she moves back into her apartment and goes back to work. So we wish you all the best Marie and want to offer our thanks for a really great summer. We really hope to see you soon, either here or in Sweden. With love from your favorite monster, Charlotte
