Holiday comes to a close

[walbourn]

The house is quiet again with all the family back to their home cities. Sadly this includes the Pumpkin as we'd love to have more time with him, but we have to split his holiday evenly with his dad in Houston. Professor X quite enjoyed all the company, and this morning he was a little confused as to why he couldn't find anyone else in the house when he got up. Poor little tike. We took him to daycare on Monday for a short day to get back into the swing of things, and he needs the baby-friends time.
