Summer Vacation

So summer vacation is almost over...I have mixed feelings about this as it means I will be returning to the grind and I can't just chill with the kids all day. But I'm also looking forward to being on a regular, "normal" schedule. Teachers will tell you that children crave dependability, routine, and schedules. Well, I've realized that I do, too! I'm happiest and most relaxed when I know what to expect out of my day--when I can plan. The first couple days we were back in our own house, the kids were ecstatic, playing with their toys, spending time tearing up their rooms and seeing their friends. And so was I! It illustrated just how much we love it here, that after visiting with loved ones "back home", partying it up in Disney, frolicking on the beach, and soaking in the mall...Well, this is still where our hearts are. Not even the impending start of the dreaded W-word can keep me away :)

Aaaah...

Back home after a 2 month crazation in the States. Spent time in WA, WI, VA, CA and various airports--ha ha! We had our first family vacation at Disneyland in Cali, and we had such a wonderful time that I'm sure it's the first of many :) I'll resume blogging here once I get my feet back under me! But in the meantime, oh yes, it's good to be home!
