As Abby has told you, we had a great time on our road trip. There were good times and bad times and all in between. I think the kids appreciated it more this year. It was long. By Iowa, they were done. What was supposed to be 5 hour drives in 5 days turned into 3 days of 9 hour drives. I was wiped out when we got home. It was quite the homecoming with Spot and Phil greeting us on the street! Phil made us a welcome home meal of steak, potatoes and salad. We popped over to visit my parents (and Uncle Matt in town) after dinner. And then I crashed! I think I slept 9 hours that night. I was toast. On Saturday we took the boat out and went to the TCC pool. We took my parents for a spin on the boat and brought Matt with us to the pool. Later we met the Freemans for dinner at TCC that night. So much fun catching up! Sophie spent the night. Phil and I went back out and met up with my brother hung the moon ending at Kickbacks in the basement. We met the Freemans at mass the next morning and took it easy getting the house back together. We went to my parents for a fish dinner cooked by me brother. My sister and her kids were there, too. Matt caught all this fish and was so nice to fry for the kids and bake for the adults. I don’t even know what we did this week. I feel like I drove all over Jacksonville. Birthday parties, play dates, doctors appointments, it’s a blur. I weeded the flower beds, did laundry, unpacked and now re-packed. I got to see the Barbie movie and had a few nights out with my brother. It’s been so nice having him here to take care of my parents when I was gone, fix projects up around their house and then recaps at night. So nice to have him back on the east coast! Marly got 4 teeth removed (to make room for her adult teeth coming in). Voss got some sealants. Ellie and Marly both had their wellness appointments. Marly had a meeting with a life coach. Backpacks have been cleaned out. I posted a bunch of sign up geniuses and signed up on some prepping for the next few weeks. We did a clean up morning at Stockton. Lots of fun boat rides on our boat and my parents. Abby and Ellie have done a little babysitting. Way too much screen time. Here are our photos of the week
