Back in the NL

I definitely wasn't ready to head back yet. Another month at least would have been nice. The trip went really well though! As smoothly as possible. Even got to the ideal train 5 minutes before it shows up (and it only shows up once per hour if the trains are actually running). The jet lag hasn't been bad at all this time, although it has been tough to get the girls to sleep at night. School will help with that problem. They start tomorrow!!

One week ago was their fourth birthday. Feels like longer than that. We had a lot of fun. It was great to celebrate with just the six of us. They got lots of school-related presents and loved them. Grandma and Grandpa's backpacks stole the show. Abigail wouldn't take hers off - she even slept with it.

Since we have been back the weather has thankfully cooled off. It has even rained a few times. What a relief. So glad we missed the killer heat wave! We have been more productive than I expected, getting lots of little things taken care of. Not ready for the first day of school tomorrow, but, oh well. Sundays are a lot of fun, so we will enjoy it.

Goodbyes in Green Bay (2 hours of driving is a whole lot better than 3 hours of waiting in line)
