I made it to Tom & Tami's safe and sound. When I got to the 405, I felt very nostalgic. I went through so many memories and feelings the rest of the drive. I felt like I was home and really missed living here. The culture of everything is familiar. I couldn’t have described it until leaving it. Today, though, I realize that what I miss about here is the people and life I used to have. The place and culture just reminds me of those times.

After being here a few days, it kind of feels like my old life. It feels like Stuart is at work while I’m watching the kids....

We picked up Scooter early Friday morning. He looks so much different since the last time I saw him. His hair is longer, he is taller, and his braces are off. He looks very handsome but it was a shock to see the difference. And his voice is changing. He sounds a lot different. I am so glad to see him and have him meet his new baby brother.

After getting Scooter, we came back to the house and picked up Joel’s friends and took them all to Malibu beach. We had a fun time. Joel has a group of friends that are good kids (kids? I mean somewhat-hormonal teenagers :-)). Scooter gets along with them all really well too. And they all are good to Alyssa even though she is 11. I chauffer them around like my mom used to do when I was a teenager. It’s fun being the mom now. Allex just comes right along with us. The kids all adore him and help me with him really well.
