Happy to be Home

Its so funny how different the vibe is around here this morning. We are all so happy to be home. The kids probably would’ve stayed in bed talking for hours had we not gotten them up. They were cozy and happy and chatting away. After getting them up, they ran to the kitchen to set up for breakfast, just like always. Our kids love routine, and it shows, even when its jobs, like setting the table. Solly is right there with everyone else, completely happy to be home. He is eating so well, seemingly relieved to be back in his high chair. We realized on our drive to Winnipeg that we hadn’t brought a high chair, but upon finding out we didn’t even have a table, it didn’t matter. Eating was a gong show, especially for Solly, and even though he had a lot more freedom that way, he seems a lot happier in his spot at the table, eating his breakfast.

Usually we’re a bit more on the ball upon coming coming home from a trip, but not this time. We only brought in what we absolutely needed last night, and the rest is happening this morning. Brady is hauling in the contents of the van, and since our method of packing everything on hangers to make less of a mess flopped hard this time around, everything is a total mess and we have to launder everything. But thats fine. Its just laundry. We can handle laundry.

Hopefully we’ll be able to keep today low key and restful, because WOW do we need it! I have to get in touch with a couple of people about a couple of things, but nothing too crazy or overwhelming. Just a quiet home day 🙂 Even the kids are stoked about a boring home day!
