I hope Ian can come home to VT soon and you can all be together like it should be.</summary><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11169579/1936435699830243754/comments/default/1097729056899597044'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11169579/1936435699830243754/comments/default/1097729056899597044'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.numbmum.com/2011/12/together-again-for-now.html?showComment=1324064427931#c1097729056899597044' title=''/><author><name>Kate D</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17129364546952164706</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.numbmum.com/2011/12/together-again-for-now.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11169579.post-1936435699830243754' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11169579/posts/default/1936435699830243754' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1266774343'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11169579.post-8297712796735062615</id><published>2011-12-16T11:27:33.730-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-16T11:27:33.730-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Oh, can&amp;#39;t you just stay in London until his pa...</title><summary type='text'>Oh, can&amp;#39;t you just stay in London until his paperwork is done???
