Missing my stepkids!

All last week I was out of town chaperoning my school's seventh graders on a camp trip (I could write a book about those adventures!). I have not seen my stepkids since Sunday the 11th, and won't see them again until this Wednesday (the 21st). That's a really long time, and I find myself missing them more than I ever thought possible. And, much to my surprise, they miss me too....tonight on the phone my stepdaughter asked if she could come over and see me. I feel like a million bucks! I can't wait to kiss their sticky faces and give them huge bear hugs.
