We have returned...

We're back. We returned Wednesday, getting home around 10:30 p.m......we didn't leave my mom's until about 10 a.m., much later than anticipated. It was a decent trip home, though a bit less exciting since we had nothing to look forward to as we did on the way there. We were glad to be home in our own beds, though. We had a great time with our families, jut wish we'd had more time to spend with everyone. It's always such a whirlwind trip, trying to get in time with family from both sides. And it is hard to leave....I'm always a bit sad as we travel home that we don't live right near everyone. :(

We have slept in late the last two days, catching up on missed sleep. We've also celebrated a birthday, spent some time cleaning up, and played with many of our new things. We will be going through the house to get rid of some things...we will donate (hopefully A LOT) it to Goodwill. We've almost gotten rid of all the colds that have been running through the family. I was the last one and am feeling much better. We all have the remnants of a cough here and there, otherwise we're feeling fine. So far Autumn has missed it....I'm praying it stays that way.

Gotta go. I'll be back tomorrow.....the beginning of a whole new year.
