my trip home

This post should have been done about two weeks ago... what are you gonna do, the days just fly by!
The twins and I flew to California to give my Mom some hugs and cheer her up a bit before she starts on her treatment. Mom btw is very very brave, keeping her chin up and planning a good fight that she intends to win :)
Our flight back home was great, just like the flight to the States. The twins were great sports, flirting with any of the neighboring passengers that would look their way. I was very pleasantly surprised.
We all had a great and busy time. The twins got to know Zofia (who informed me that she is no longer a princess, but a "pretty little girl") and Maggie (who kept giving them hugs and kisses). Apropos the "pretty little girl" - Zofia heard me say that and I heard her mumbling under her nose "I am pretty, and I am a little girl, so yeah, I'm a pretty little girl". LOVE IT!!
We had lots of visitors, which we loved. One day Connie and Richard and the whole Tauman family came and we talked and played with kids and ate lots and lots of yummy bagels. Then we had a great surprise visit from Akiva! He just drove up to say hello and boy, was I surprised. First of all to see him, and second of all - did you all know he was a model? - I'm sure you did, but I didn't. Kiva - you rock! Then Julia flew in and came over with Shoshi. These wonderful girls gave me a precious 2 hours of sleep when they took upon themselves the care Zofia and Maggie. I was having one of those really bad sleep deprived by babies days. Unfortunately I didn't get to talk to them that much. Thank you guys all for coming and spending some time with us!!
We also went to visit Grandma. She had a good couple of hours with us. She was happy to see her great grandchildren and I was happy to see her smile. It was also great to see Denise and Lenny happy :)
Agi and I got together with some girlfriends from Harcerstwo (Polish girl scouts) for an evening, where we had a blast reminiscing and singing some polish songs. Plus we got to show off our kids.
Boy, the more I write, the more I miss all you guys! I wish it wasn't so far!
