there's no place like home

You know what would be great? If everyone we love especially our families could somehow all live in our valley with us.
Its so great to come home but so different without the grandparents and cousins and all.
Reunion day with daddy at the theatre!

D. got right back into things here starting with 2 Pounders meals, on the same day!
He hasn't had trouble feeling tired from jetlag even with marathon yard care and raquetball.

Mom is enjoying the fantastic dark swiss chocolate.
Having a hard time hiding it from herself too.
Somehow dark chocolate can go with any meal and makes a great snack.

N. begged mom to let him stay home from playground group and play videogames half the day but wouldnt get back into the car when it was time to leave.
Goosebump books are as addictive as the dark chocolate apparently, thats why he will go back on wednesday and thursday because they'll be reading those days.

Z. is ecstatic to get back to friends but is already using the term "bored" before breakfast.
Wears dressups everywhere she can get away with, "O, I forgot I was wearing it" is her excuse.
(Who forgets they are wearing a boa, a leotard and sever layers of shiny outfits?)

T. cant go anywhere, even the bathroom, without his little neighbor friend he calls "Briks" .
Thinks that riding his bike everywhere is perfectly fine even if its several miles, just complains his legs are "too strong " for it. (I think he means not strong enough) .

S. is such a blast to watch interact with the kids.
Loves to tease and runaway even when they have no idea shes doing it.
Slept for the first time in 15 months without a plug, for the whole night.

We are all enjoying having D. home and are loving the summer.




D. giving himself a much needed haircut (when your helmet is tight and you cant feel the breeze). Doesnt he know he is married to a licenced hairstylist?!

S. thinks she has a funny hair cut, sorta does look like daddys.
