We left at 4am. Mommo and Babbo had coffee with us at 3:30. Saying goodbye to them was difficult. Muy difficult. Lucca was sleeping in Mommo’s arms as we chatted and sipped down our caffeine. Then it was time.
We all walked outside and my Man loaded Lucca into the car. He was half asleep [...]

It had been 5 days since a hair wash. It was time for a scrub and a condition, but Doc said no soaking in the tub just yet.
