Luggage

It's here!

The clothes inside smell funky, in spite of Daniel's best attempts at coming home with everything freshly laundered. I guess 2 weeks lost within the airline's luggage system will do that to anything.

More importantly, it came with every thing intact!

And it came bearing gifts. Some very nice ones. Like a book with puzzle-illustrations that the kids have been taking turns putting together all afternoon.

My favorites are the ones bought just for me. It's not so much what they are (though they're very cool; thanks, Julia and Liana!) as it is the knowing that Daniel was thinking of me lots the whole time he was gone.

A bag, a print (I wish you could touch the textures!), a hair band, and new sandals. Yay!

Not pictured is the Spanish olive oil Daniel bought me that the airline confiscated, claiming it to be a "flammable material." This is disappointing, since Spanish olive oil makes the absolute best salad dressing ever, though not entirely surprising considering the many restrictions these days...
