I stole this picture of my nephews, Will and Ty, off the Facebook page of my youngest sister, Allie. She's back from studying abroad and visiting family.

I'd been meaning to call Allie for a week or two. After she wrote, "Arn, I am still waiting for you to call me back," I got around to doing it.

She put our nephews on the speaker phone so I could talk to them too.

Will: Uncle Arnie... are you going to come back someday?
Me: [laughing] Of course. I'll try to visit... soon... sometime.

Apparently, Will then ran to Julie, saying, "Mom! Mom! Uncle Arnie said he's coming back sometime!"
