Home Again

Carolina Cutie

Yes, I am home...again. After a fun filled, (relaxing in a stressful kind of way) week spent with my dear friend Meagen, the girls and I have landed back in Planet Boy and rejoined the rat race we call life at the Jerger House. Oy!

We had such a good time visiting...aside from the doctor visits, we shopped, and played and just relaxed which was so nice. I never feel like I can relax at home...there is always something I should be doing. Meagen and I managed to get a few movies in...she is a member of the Blockbuster mail thing...and now I am too:0) We saw P.S. I love you. It was a total tear-jerker but good. We also watched Elizabeth and Elizabeth: the Golden Years. If you like period films/movies, I enjoyed them both. My least favorite was Wicker Park. I am certain we saw some others but I can't remember what they were...Meagen...leave a comment with some reviews of the other movies we watched.

As I said previously, Ruthie really enjoyed the time away visiting with the girls and Ellie did amazing! She was fine around all the new people. I did allow them to hold her for short snatches of time. I felt ok with this because they are not "regular" people in her life and our visit was short. They still did not provide for any of her needs...I fed, bathed and gave her pretty much anything she needed or wanted. She played easily with all of the kids and came to me when I asked her to. There were no tantrums and I never felt that she was attaching to one of the others in an inappropriate way. We will hold off on the nursery at church for a while but will begin to allow people to hold her for very short periods of time.

The flight home was uneventful...We were picked up by the "men" and took Ruthie straight to gymnastics. I got home and got everything unpacked and then we picked Ruthie up and headed to some friends for a BBQ. That was nice. Today, We had lunch with Adam's parents and grandmother. It was her first time meeting Ellie. Tonight we go to dinner with my parents to celebrate mother's day with her and my step-dad's birthday. Tomorrow, church and then lunch and shopping with my girls...no kids...Happy Mother's Day to us... and to all of you Mommy's out there who are doing this job day in and day out. Even when you don't get that thank you you deserve, you glorify the Lord by taking care of your family...put your feet up and enjoy the day...you earned it!
