A different kind of Shabbos

This Shabbos was the very first time that Motty went to sleep at his Zeidy & Bobby's house all by himself! Boy was he proud that he can go alone without Miri who gets a fair share of the attention, or his annoying parents who control the amount of nosh and prizes he receives. We had a different kind of shabbos with only Miri home. She was basking in the double dose of attention she was getting. We had lots of fun with her. she was in this adorable mood all day, she was giggling and playing with us and we both had such a good time with her. I think we didn't know how much we missed our sunshine until we went to pick him up. We walked in the door and he came running toward us schlepping his suitcase and grinning from ear to ear. We landed on the floor in a huge mushy hug, and didn't get up for at least five minutes! He sure had fun and is looking forward to going again but we are not sure it can happen again any time soon, WE MISSED HIM TOO MUCH!!!
