My mom arrived Tuesday and was able to stay until today, Easter. Turner and I were very sad to see her go. She worked the entire time she was here doing laundry, cleaning, cooking, and driving all over Tucson running my errands and dropping me off a million different places. Turner got to cut school and load up on Nanny time.

We go to drop Mom off at the airport. You've all been to the Tucson airport. It is pretty much empty always. As we pull away, Turner yells "I love you Nanny" out the car window, his voice echoing off the concrete. "Have a safe trip Nanny. I'll miss you Nanny" and so on until we pull away from the curb. At the stop light, a minute down the road, Turner says, "I really do love Nanny."
When we get home from the airport, John (tutor-ee) came over to work on his Jane Austen paper. He brings him a huge (yes, huge) chocolate bunny. We take this bunny to Kilan's grandma's house. After the boomerang, the easter egg hunt, the eating of the eggs, the blueberry cobbler (incredible!), I crack the bunny on the counter and give Turner an ear. Kilan eats a foot. We rush off home, and as we cross Broadway Turner says, "Do you think Nanny will be at home when we get there?"
