Oh how we've missed Kate Walsh!

After abandoning us and leaving us photo-less for months on end, she resurfaced at the Butterfly Ball looking lovely enough to render herself instantly forgiven.

Then today, she popped up at the Van Nuys Airport with producer hubby Alex Young and actor Aaron Eckhart.  We were tha-rilled to see her... until we realized:  She's at an airport.  Oh no!  She's leaving us again!

Well, something is better than nothing, right?  And it's great to see her hair in the redder range again.

Any of you Walshaholics know what's up with Eckhart in the mix?

At first, we thought the Butterfly Ball was some sort of awesome adult prom to which we weren't invited.

Then, upon Googling, we discovered it's an annual fundraiser that benefits Crysalis, an L.A.-based organization that helps homeless men and women find jobs.

Hooray for good causes and double plus good for combining them with pretty people!

Several of our (and your) favorites came out to a private residence to lend their support.

Newlyweds Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller, back in town and looking radiant Kate Walsh, handsome and hilarious Jason Bateman with Amanda Anka, Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart (in a dress with a really cool leather neckline),  Balthazar and Rosetta Getty, Camille Guaty looking a bit like a butterfly, Rachael Harris, Katherine Heigl (love that super pale lavender), Jordana Brewster, Justin Chambers and wife Keisha (think they settled on a school?), Mila Kunis (we're less than lukewarm on the makeup), Eva Mendes, and, of course, Ashton Kutcher clutching his (not frumpy) lady Demi Moore.

We have a mega-fix for the Walshaholics today.

Kate Walsh was busy busy on Wednesday.  First, she dropped by a local nursery with that handsome fellow (her gardener?) to browse the flowers and shrubbery.

Then, she met up with friends at Yuca's (the place Eric Dane was gushing about on Oprah) where she chowed down on tacos.  Mmmm!  After the meal, Kate toted her Coke (not Diet-- go girl!) back to her red Rover.  She was accompanied by a gal pal with an adorable Yorkie pup!  His ha-uge ears render him a bit Ewok, yeah?

Then, Kate went to get her hair did at Chris McMillan's salon (much like she did here).  She finished up the day with a trip to the Death Star, aka, the Creative Artists Agency's ginormo headquarters in Century City.

Whew!  We are exhausted just thinking about all that!

Welcome back Walsh-Lovers.  We think there could be a better name for y'all, so we're taking suggestions.

Walshaholics?

Anyway...

Today, the lovely Kate Walsh headed back to the other Kate.  Somerville, to be specific.  We've seen lady Walsh hit up the Skin Health Experts in the past... and it's making us think we should get ourselves over there for a little dermatologic review.

On her way back to the valet, it certainly looks like Kate made the pro-parker's afternoon.

After spending the afternoon visiting a friend's Westwood apartment, Private Practice star Kate Walsh and her producer husband Alex Young stopped by Sandbag's Gourmet Sandwiches to grab some grub to-go.

The couple gave the cameras friendly smiles (per their usual-- thanks) before Alex helped Kate into the car.  The two took off to enjoy their Sandbag's sammies elsewhere.
