Well now, that face is the best possible thing to comes home to. I need to go lie down now after reading about your week :-)
The things I don't envy about your week: the beltway traffic, the three hours in the special suit, the waking up on the sofa, the switching gears between one job, the other job, and your family, the running around the parking lot, the housework, and the sheer number of things on your itinerary. The things I do envy: coming home to that face (OMG), the meal in the bistro, the egg hunt, and the exposure to an awe-inspiring airplane.
