Pre-travel Conversations

We're headed to Seattle to see my daughter and family. In fact by the time this is on my blog we may be there already.

I've had some fun conversations with the girls about our upcoming trip. It all started one day while we were on FaceTime and I mentioned how excited I was to come. Madeleine informed me that we would be there in ten and nine days. They'd been counting.

Here are the email communications that have happened since then:
Aug 21

Me: I will see you in ten and seven days!

Love, G’ma

via Debra: no two girls were ever more excited. 

Aug 24

Me: Thirteen days!!

Aug 26

See August 28 post

Sep 3

Me:

How old is Diane?

2

How old is Madeleine?

4

What is the number between 2 and 4?

3

That's how many days until I see Diane and Madeleine.

I can't wait!!
I love you!

G’ma

via Debra: madeleine: we already know that!

they've been counting down, hard core. seven days ago, madeleine said, "diane. there are seven days until we see g'ma and pa'a. and then the next day, there are six. and then five, and then four, and then three, and then two. so there are pretty much two days left."

The girls’ morning conversation, via Debra:

madeleine: diane, guess how many days until g'ma and pa'a come!
diane: oh! 
madeleine: that's not a number, that's a letter! it's two day!
