Home again Home again...

Hello from Michigan!!

We are now all safely home. After an all night drive from the Smokey Mountains we arrived around 11am on Tuesday morning... marking 70 days of us traveling. What a feeling!

We arrived to a sparkling world of snow, a mountain of mail, a small city of packages and boxes, and our own personal welcoming comity - our neighbors:o)! It feels so good to be home!!!

In the middle of the night the kids have woken up not knowing where they were, and not liking that they were not in a bed with each other. When Bryce or I have been woken up in the middle of the night, it's taken us a few minutes to remember why the kids bed isn't right beside our own... a weird sensation!

Bryce went back to work Wednesday... but left us with empty cabinets and refrigerator, and without a car. It was a wake up call that I could no longer simply pile the kids into the stroller and walk a few yards to a restaurant or grocery store. He had gone out and gotten doughnuts and a loaf of bread, so we survived and had supper at Cost Co that night. We now have a fridge full of food and a well stocked pantry... sigh of contentment.

I have also felt surges of relief while I am in the midst of all the chaos of unloading and putting away all our things, when I realize that this is the last unpacking job I'll be doing for a while... the awareness that we are planted here for more than a week is pure joy!

I will soon have a slew of pictures up, and another post... before we completely end this blog...

Hope you are happy and content. There is truly no place like home!
