Babies and Mommies are Happy to Be Home

I was so excited to be getting Carter home from camp today I woke up at five in the morning.  It was an hour earlier than I needed to be up so I tried to be silent so as not to wake Russ.  Best laid plans, I knocked a giant glass off my bedside table shattering it into a gazillion shards.  Top it all off my Mother and her bridge partner are spending two nights here while attending a bridge tournament in Durham so Russ and I had to silently clean the glass up without the vacuum cleaner.

Not the way I wanted to start the day, but we got an early start to drive out to Roaring Gap and reunite with Carter.  After the crying hugs of joy, Carter’s counselor deemed us happiest reunion family and we bid Camp Cheerio goodbye for the season.  All the way home Carter filled us in on all the news from camp.  By the time we got home we were all exhausted and fell into our beds for naps.

No one was happier to see Carter than her baby Shay Shay.  It has to be confusing in a dog’s life to tell the difference between her mothers going to school for the day and going away fro three weeks.  I can see the look in Shay Shay’s face questioning, was that just one really long day?

Quickly they fell back into snuggle time together and Shay is off to bed to sleep curled up around Carter.  This mother is happy to have her baby home too.
