That Saturday, I was up early. I was surprised to see Michael was already out running errands before I'd even had my coffee. When he isn't mowing the lawn, he often makes a run to Home Depot or the car wash. I was a little perplexed though, when his normal errand running time had passed and he still hadn't returned. Still browsing the web, drinking my coffee and wearing pajamas, I finally heard the front door open. I thought I heard a second set of footsteps and wondered if maybe this hadn't been a typical Saturday morning for errands. Maybe he and Elisabeth had something to take care of.
I was caught off guard when I found my son, Christopher, standing behind my chair. Michael thought it would be a fun surprise for everyone, including Lauren, if he bought him a plane ticket and flew him home for the weekend. Christopher is currently living in Texas for a 6 week internship, while his lovely wife holds down her job, and takes care of their unborn baby in New Orleans.
Truthfully,
Joanne
