Bonnet's visit comes to an end

Bonnet has been living in CO for over 4 months now. Her dad paid for her round trip ticket to fly down and spend a week with us for Christmas. She ended getting snowed in, so she arrived a day late. But I've enjoyed every minute of her time with us.

Probably not as much as Will has though. Every single waking moment, Will has been jumping, chasing, screaming, attaching, or sitting on Bonnet. He's doing to her what he normally does to me; times ten. I don't know if it is because he genuinely missed her that much or if he knows she is here for a short time only.

They have always had a very close relationship, kindred spirits of a sort. This evening Bonnet taught Will how to bate and trap Winkels (our small dog) in a box. Don't get the wrong idea; Will has been setting traps for over a year. Just earlier today, he showed Bonnet how to trip Steve with a trap wire. She was showing him a more advanced form of entrapment. That's what big sisters are for right?

This morning, Lew and Dona met all five of us for lunch. Dona took the photo below of me and all three of my children. Not great of any of us; but it is a photo of all of us together. Happy times.
