Back Home Again

It is so good to be home again. There is jet lag to deal with and a daunting year of work on the nearby horizon - and yet, it still feels so good to be home!

Our flights home were thankfully uneventful. We had a 17 hour layover in Los Angeles and so took the girls to DisneyLand. We had a great time! The girls were giddy with excitement all day and I think just about every one of their dreams did come true! (Cliche I know - but it was that good!) During a Maypole dance at a little "Coronation ceremony" we went to, Cinderella chose Erin's hand to hold from the fifty or so odd girls in the room. Erin only cracked the tiniest of smiles but her eyes were the sizes of grapefruits she was so excited! And Maddie finally got to see Tinkerbell who looked right at her, waved, smiled and blew her a kiss. The girls were starry-eyed the whole rest of the day.

The airplane ride home that night went well. Luck was on our side for we had two empty seats beside us - so both girls were able to lay down! Everyone slept at least 8 (some of us 9 hours)! That's a record for us we think. And now we're home and it does feel so good to be home!
