Lonely... we miss them already!

The last 16 days have been a blast... they have come to an end and we are very sad. I think everyone is going to get some rest after these past couple of weeks but we made memories that will last a lifetime. We had to say goodbye (for now) to ViVi, Grandad and Great Mama. We had dinner at Villa Bali and then drove them to the airport so they could go home. All day yesterday Pierce kept seeing the suitcases emerge from the closets and we were slowly telling him what was going on. He handled it well until we were standing at the terminal saying Goodbye... Pierce was screaming through his tears "I want ViVi and Grandad"... "I want ViVi and Grandad"... we told him they were going back home to Texas and that we were staying in Singapore. We soon got him in the car and turned on the DVD player and he was better but within 5 minutes he asked for a present (bc ViVi told him he gets a present on Sat. that they left for him).

I think this is our only picture of all of us... it was a great night together... we all had tears in our eyes when they left but we know we will see them soon.

This was Pierce's first time to his restaurant and he almost ate all of the chicken satay on his plate...I guess he liked them.

ViVi wanted some kisses... but Pierce was still into his movie.

Then ViVi asked for a real kiss... and boy did she get one...

And then some spit...
We already miss ViVi, Grandad and Great Mama so much... it just was not the same to wake up and not have Great Mama sitting on the couch waiting for us... when Pierce woke up this morning he asked "where is my Great Mama"... I like how he used the word my... we had a great time and can't wait to do it again...

All good things must come to an end...it looks like you guys had so much fun on their visit! What a blessing to get to see them and do so many neat things!

Awww! So sad! we know the feeling. Sure does allow our children the opportunity to learn the concepts of appreciation and lack of instant gratification.
Shelby packed his stuff at daycare and informed his teacher he was going to the airport and taking a plane to Texas.
GREAT IDEA...the DVD player at the restaurant. Why has that never occurred to me! You just hit jackpot. I've been missing dinners so much! We pay craziness for a sitter to get that experience

I was wondering when they were going home. I was just about to e-mail you and then I decided I should check your blog first. I'm sorry you had to say goodbye. It looks like they had a wonderful trip. Call you soon...
