Radio Silence Broken

Fans! We have been in absentia, it's true. We have been kept from our reportage by an unfolding mess: we are to go to a wedding next weekend for one of Julie's close friends, and had some time ago secured Joe's beloved Miss Nicholle to babysit. No sooner had we done so then she went AWOL from the KinderCare. The messages as to why have been mixed, but AWOL she remains. So we called for reinforcements from Paoli. Why didn't we think of it before?! We are flying Aunt Kate in to watch the bambini--two-leggeds only (four-legged bambini to be boarded)--and are mush relieved. So all's well that ends well, and now we can return to our regularly scheduled programming.
