And so life goes on. We are all back at work and dealing with life in our own ways. The healing takes time.

Serif got her hair cut over the weekend. She looks so cute and this is the perfect cut for her. Very easy to take care of.

While out running errands on Monday we stopped for a quick lunch. It was so nice to have my sweet family sitting across from me.

And, of course, they always show me the greatest respect when I'm taking pictures.

On a happy note Tom actually called last night. It was so good to hear his voice and find out what is going on with him. I have gotten so used to having my children close that is taking a little adjustment having him so far away. The main thing is that he is happy. That's all that matters.
