Saying goodbye to Mom

Saying bye isn't fun, but on the way to the airport, Mom and I managed a few smiles (due to my silliness with my camera).

It was good having some time with her (in warm weather ;) ) and now had to share her with Dad :) (he's arriving from Bolivia tonight and they're meeting up in Kansas City).

I love my family, and being with family at the end and beginning of the year is important to me.
