Double Daddy, when he was still working on Circuit City's broadcast advertising team, frequently had instances in which he'd be gone upwards of four or more days -- on a shoot, supervising focus groups, attending the National Association of Broadcasters' convention or the like. His returns were marked by a wide array of welcoming devices: door-mounted posters, sidewalk chalk artistry, balloons held by running, hug-ready children (and a wife, too) at the gate.
Last weekend, the finger representing my absence #4 was spoken for as I participated in the Fishful Thinking "Parenting for Possibilities" Symposium and faculty training session in White Plains, New York. Sunday afternoon, I returned home; toting abundant affection for newly-met, similarly minded mothers, as well as a mental carry-on chock full of positive parenting practices ready to implement -- and share.
In addition to smiling faces and tight embraces (apparently ones that crossed designated security lines -- our apologies to the TSA), there was sentimental signage:
Look closely. In addition to my realistically depicted lush lashes, clutched in my drawn doppelganger's grasp is a goldfish cracker!Such is my photo for a first foray into Photo Story Friday...hosted by the amazing Cecily (one of the moms for whom I'm now harboring abundant affection). If you haven't visited her blog, DO!

While you're hopping around the web make a point to go visit Tiffany (another mom for whom I'm now harboring abundant affection), one of the headmistresses of SITS, and host of her own blog, The R Family Diaries complete with her new weekly feature, Fishful Thinking Fridays!
Happy Friday, Friends! (What are you up to this weekend?)

LOve the sign. And your amazing way with words. My affection for you is equally abundant.

Aww! What a great welcome home gift! I was greeted by little hands wanting to know what I brought them... lots and lots of Goldfish crackers.
Wow. That looks exactly like you. Amazing.
My dear, the crush is totally mutual.
We need an excuse to meet up again!
Cheryl, I am in awe at your childrens' talents. I love that they thought about putting a fish in your hand!
So sweet! I went on a four day cruise once and by the end of the second day.. it was too much for me.
