Obviously we made it back from our trip safe and without delay or I would not be writing now. Here are the main highlights until I find more time to go into detail.
* I didn't puke in the plane and neither did Jonathan.
* We bought something really cute for the kids at the Memphis airport, but have not given to them yet.
* We saw our friends and had some great fun. Unfortunately we were unable to see some others that we had not seen in quite some time.
* I didn't call the kids more than twice a day! I did really well! :D
* Met my first niece, Savannah and she is beautiful. She's got the tiniest head and face I have ever seen.
* My nephews had grown so much.
* Brayden is completely potty trained!
* My brothers are amazing!
* My mother and I got along.
* My dad made me laugh a lot.
* Loading the U-Haul went rather quickly and with almost no problems.
* Our trip wasn't nearly long enough.
* I did not drive the U-Haul even for a second.
* We came home and all I could do was hold them and smell their sweet baby smell that I had missed so very much.
We are now almost completely into our apartment. Unfortunately we had a lot of our furniture and other things molded or destroyed, so it's going to take some time to get clean what we can and slowly replace what we cannot salvage.
Today is Joseph's sixth birthday and he couldn't be more excited (until he gets his gifts, that is)!!! Tomorrow we will have a very small party for just us so that Nana will be able to enjoy the celebration with us before her departure to Alaska. I am making a rocket ship cake per his request, hoping this doesn't end in an explosion. Seems it's been forever since I have baked. (Wish me luck!)
Happy birthday to my sister Tiffany as well. Today she celebrates her 21st! Love you sister and I miss you terribly!
Take care,
Jaclyn
