Aah.
We are home - boys in hand, and I am happy.
It was a wonderful, restful vacation for all involved, but it is sooo nice to all be together again. Kev and I made good time getting home on Friday, so we scooted up to Mom and Dad's late that afternoon to be there to surprise the boys when they woke up from their naps.
It was so fun to see them and surprise them, and they were so happy to see us, too! But we could totally tell that they had been having a blast with Grampy and Grammy. We all went 4-wheeling, had a pizza picnic outside, and then one final bonfire to top off the night. The next day, we made one last trip to the pond and collected some baby tadpoles to bring home, went on ONE more 4-wheeler ride, Jesse took a massive dunk in a huge mud puddle (I swear, I'm bad luck for that kid!), so they washed off in the kiddie pool for one final swim, and then we hit the road for home.
We came THIS close (fingers pinched together) to bringing the boys home a baby kitten from the animal shelter. But, we're headed to Pennsylvania for a couple of weeks of support raising in a couple of weeks, and I thought that might be too traumatizing for the little thing to just get bonded with it and then leave it, so we resisted. The time is coming soon, though. I can feel it in my bones.....
So, now we are home and settled. The boys are napping in their own beds, stuff is put away, laundry is slowly getting caught up, bread is rising, a few groceries are in the fridge, and I am once again settling into HOME.
The chatter is incessant, the noise is raucous, feet are constantly running, messes are getting made, diapers are getting filled, and my counter is once again getting filled up with "critters."
It's good to be back.
