Ahhhhh.

After a long but great mainland trip visiting family and friends it took a little while for us to settle back in to life as we love it.  It has been quite a week as we are all reeling from our "vacation hangover" and trying to remember how we do things around here.  Matt jumped right back into work the day after we returned and the kids and I had doctors appointments and tried to get life back in order (not very successfully I have to admit).  I have been exhausted and barely making it up past 8 p.m. 

It's Monday morning, a week since we left Pennsylvania and we all finally slept in until 6 (Z. had been waking up between 4 and 5, which meant we were all up).  We had a nice weekend to reconnect as a family and see some friends.  Just in time for school to start tomorrow we are getting back in the swing of things around here.

A few of our weekend highlights:

The little chipmunk gathering nuts and berries to hide away

getting dirty.  don't mind the nice dress:(

eating some of auntie steph's belated birthday cupcakes.

Jackson enjoying the pool

we renewed our waterpark passes and Zack got to really enjoy the park this time by going on slides...by himself!

My favorite boys

One of my favorite parts of being home is our daily walk.  Today they finally took the wall down at lagoon one and revealed the walkway and the front of the new Disney hotel opening in 5 weeks.  They have been doing tons of improvement projects around here and I can't wait for it all to be done

Abby loves to type and today wrote her first emails

We love see the kids try new things and they both were so excited to charge the slides.  This is a video of Abby and I on the fast green slide ( she was so sad she couldn't go on the bigger ones).  Zack went down it also but we didn't have a videographer...next time.
