• Since Robby and I were the only ones here last night, Bentley had to sleep in our room. That poor puppy wasn't too thrilled with it. She did sleep well, but this morning when I opened the door to the mudroom, she bolted upstairs looking for the kids. When she discovered that no one was up there, she whined. 
• This is her gotcha day so maybe we should have done something special for the dog today-she is a bit on the lonely side with all of the kids gone. 
• Robby and I stayed in bed a while, then I did the dishes and laundry before we left to run some errands. We bought some groceries-but neglected to buy eggs since surely we had some. We did also buy two bags of dog food for Bentley, so we will say that is her gotcha day present.
• We came home, and I stated making a cake...which I needed 3 eggs to make. Hmm, with the big boys cooking eggs all the time, I should have known we always need eggs, but of course we only had 2. Robby told me to just use two and call it fine so we shall see if that was a good plan. 
• We had settled on the couch when the Amazon came delivering us a project. Robby bought a new faucet for our sink which had gotten pretty sad. Our faucet would twist and turn when you turned it on. 
• Even though it seemed loose, it took a long while for Robby to get it all unscrewed. Once he did, though, we had that thing installed in no time at all. Then we heated up our suppers, and now we are back in the couch watching the Hogs.
• I haven't really heard from the kids today. I did write Graham and ask "How has today been? Are your kids ok? Is Whitman enjoying it?" and his wordy response was "all good." We don't hear from Reagan much since she went to school, but I know that I will hear from Anderson even less so I didn't even try to text him today.
• Now, who will I hear from when they go to college? Campbell. Not only will she read the blog daily, but she will send me pictures and updates like she did today. She started her morning at Starbucks and the house she was at last night even hung out with the boys's house.
