When you can't sleep at 2am your mind wanders to all sorts of thoughts. Our 1st night I laid there and thought about how overwhelmed I felt. Overwhelmed in a good way. So lucky. So happy. So many people here care about us and love our kids. We got back to my parents house and the kids barely got their bags inside before they were headed next door to say hi, see the new puppy, and raid the Kool-Aid stash. Later, Dan came over to give me a hug & a hard time because I didn't come over with the kids and say hi.
I know we've been gone a long while when MA says, "Look! There's a farm." from the airplane. And seeing roadkill brought about a lot of questions. Seeing deer and wild turkeys in the fields near Grandma and Papa's house.
Sitting on the deck, just hanging out feels so nice and relaxing.
We made a special stop at McDonald's for $1 drinks. Oh root beer how I have missed you! Nothing quite like a proper large fountain soda. The kids loved being able to get lemonade at all the restaurants.
