He Has Returned!


Alex returned from a week long trip to Germany last night. We are so excited to have him home! We tried to distract ourselves with several outings to see friends and family during the week, but it was just no fun without him here. The girls must have known that Dad needed his sleep, because they didn't make a peep all night. (While he was gone, they woke 2-3 times a night!)

An added bonus is the weather he returned to! Today the high is 77 degrees! We have been very productive. First we cleaned up our garage - it is amazing how cleaning up a cluttered area gives you mental clarity as well! Then we went for a long walk with the girls down to Springfield lake. The girls had a swing at the playground - we can't wait until they can climb on the playground equipment! Then during the girls' afternoon nap - we cleaned up the remainder of our ice storm debris (or should I say - moved it to the curb).

In the top picture the girls are exploring the open windows in the kitchen. Below, they are masterminding a plan to escape the highchairs next time they are buckled in! And they look so innocent...
