Home Sweet Home

The John Denver song came to mind today, "Hey it's good to be back home again."
Not that any of you would know that song. Don't get me wrong, the trip was
spectacular, but it was time to be done.

Our plane landed just before midnight last night. It was a looong day of travel -
about 29 hours with little sleep on a bus and plane. Unfortunately the last leg of
the trip home was by far the most miserable because I was sooo tired but couldn't
sleep, and I threw up 3x. The last time was just as we were landing in SLC when you
aren't supposed to take your seat belt off or get out of your seat, but I made a mad
dash to the toilet.

We'll be blogging about the trip sometime, but...

It was nice to come back to our little apartment that is MUCH bigger than the room we
shared with my dad & sister, 4 huge suitcases and 4 beds.

It is much easier to do laundry in a washing machine instead of a sink.

It was fun to see our garden growing - thanks to the Bakers, Merkets and the rain.

Our apartment and house plants were well taken care of by the Bennetts.

We get to sleep in our own bed tonight, and on Sunday we get to go to our own ward!

Kris and Nathaniel. They just always have so much fun together.


Grandpa got a new swing-set! Even Josh and Nathaniel can swing.


Aiden loves it and could swing all night.
See how dark it is? That is all he wanted to do.


Reagan loves it and wanted me to push her "higher" and "faster."


Landon and Emma definitely approve.


Happy Birthday, Dad! Yummy marzipankaker.


We went on a hike with the Bennetts and the Porters for Memorial Day.
Aren't they cool?


We had lunch at the "end" of the Stokes Nature Trail before we
started the 3.75ish walk/hike back.


A pretty flower.
