This seems to be another one of those busy times of year (aren't they all). Rachel and Sydney are in the final semester of college for this year, they are coming and going, sometimes they won't be home for 3 weeks at a time. They'd probably prefer longer stretches but mom can't handle it.
I know a couple of other, less noticeable people who have a problem with not seeing their sisters, that would be the two Filipino brothers in the family. It is an amazing phenomenon. Neither group seems to pay too much attention to the other (that's just not cool) but as a parent if you stand back and watch you can catch all kinds of "I've missed you but I won't let you or anyone else know", cues.
From the spontaneous rough housing, to room invasions or the Star Wars saber fight that went on shortly before Sydney headed back to school this afternoon. The boys hate trying to talk to people on the phone and they are just getting the hang of pestering their sisters by text and Face Time...Alison wisely hasn't purchased an IPhone so she is saved from this face to face brotherly invasion.
So in between visits Mike and I hear, Where is Rachel, what is Syd doing, is Alison at home, are they coming home, when, when, when. Even if it is "uncool" to admit to your sisters that they miss them, Lucas and Eli sure drop a lot of clues.
