We see Mankin off at Caen airport after a weekend visit

Mari came for the weekend. She's a workin' girl now. But it's pretty neat, since she can be here pretty quick. A plane from a southern airport in England, over the Channel, and land in Caen. We are only 25 minutes from this airport! Neat. Saves so much time instead of flying into Paris, then taking the train all the way out again. Hopefully she can come more often now that Caen has started these new flights to England.

Had a fun weekend all of us. The boys are so happy to have Mankin back, and even though it's short, they will take it!

Mankin is just doing super. Lot's of responsibility at TouchPress, and super busy, and doing amazing work, and I just know she is sweet through it all, with everybody.

We watched the latest three episodes of "Downton Abbey". Natalya always wants to watch them all the way through. Mari and I try to spread it out.

Haha! It's just like Natalya and presents - hers, or most especially others' presents. "Open it now!" she counsels with a beaming smile and bright eyes ... even though it is October, and the wrapped gift is for Christmas.

So, we compromised, and watched two episodes the first night, and saved the last episode for the following night.

:-)

Went to church altogether, which we don't have a chance to do very often. We went to the big church in Caen, and then to the airport to see Mankin off...
