Hey, Its Good to be Back Home Again!
Yes, WE all made it home safely, just before the bad winter weather hit. We were very lucky to come in when we did and make it over the passes. We were all exhausted from the trip and the trip home and have been trying to adjust to the time changes. Two of my kids have ear infections and I got the nasty cough from Bella. Life here is so fast paced from Africa that I almost can't stand coming back to the life we left. Well we had to jump right in and go back to work - no rest for the weary. I haven't even had time to see most of my relatives and I really haven't felt like telling much about our trip yet. I didn't think we would feel this jet lagged or just plain tired. Of course coming home to frigid weather instead of hot, humid, sunny weather doesn't help. The kids and I have been out sledding a few times mainly I go for exercise and fresh air but the kids love it. Its very hard to get in the holiday mood this year after just returning from Africa where most people barely eek out a living, let alone overspend on frivalous stuff. But with my mom telling me my kids should have something I guess I will get for them but not like we used to. We all really miss the group we went with and miss the folks we left behind over there. We wish everyone a happy holiday and a great new year.
