Don&#8217;t get too excited though, it was a short one. I almost finished The Little Prince just on the subway. (I had from 3 PM and on to myself when Evan and Elena caught their flight home, I caught mine this morning).</p> <p>Now that we are all reunited again in seattle, we went to the park for a picnic. Suddenly Nicolas, a little boy, appeared and stuck around us. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll ever meet a boy who could possibly resemble The Little Prince more closely than this boy did today at the park. Or maybe I just need to spend more time around six year old boys to realize they are all little princes. </p>http://evanandlindsay.com/post/23270903601http://evanandlindsay.com/post/23270903601Thu, 17 May 2012 22:58:02 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m44u4o88n61ro9tcao1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Elena and I are on our way to the airport in Newark, NJ.
