traveling days

Well, we are home.  And it's cold and gray and drizzling.  Pretty much what I was expecting but still....


Our trip home lasted about 16 hours - and the kids rocked the whole thing.  Matt and I agreed we would take them anywhere.  Even Luke (ha! just kidding.  But there was a season when a simple drive downtown with Luke screaming in his car seat was about all I could handle.  Luke has never advertised himself as an easy child!)



But look at that cute little almost-4-year-old foot.  And all those tan, mosquito-bitten, happily scratched and bruised legs!  [Clockwise from Luke is Lydia, Isaac, John Paul and Julianna.  and thanks Julie, for supplying our growing feet with a nice collection of keens.  love them]

We landed at 11:15 pm, and Matt was back at the airport early this afternoon.  Boo.  He'll be home Friday by dinner time.  I was really sad to say goodbye.

And this week is looking to be challenging in many areas - all the re-adjusting to life back at home, and it's back to home school, and Chinese school, and all those other realities that are conspicuously absent on vacation :)

whew.

What a fabulous vacation - many memories were made! The kids do travel well - you give them lots of practice!
