luke started 2nd grade about 10 days after we got home. we had school stuff to buy, open houses to attend. etc. etc. then liam needed a preschool. so we got that taken care of. it's amazing and wonderful and a 20 minute drive away...so that is taking some getting used to. we got the boys to the dentist, and found out we have to get some work (ok a lot of work) done for luke--poor kid apparently inherited my teeth. i have been canning and freezing fruit and pizza sauce and homemade baby food. we just got a new niece! and are going to visit her this weekend. did i also mention i'm opening an etsy store? and selling my stuff at a boutique? more on that later...
but seriously. i am just amazed by the constant swirl of the fast life around me.
and in addition to that feeling, i also feel a bit like frodo returning to the shire. we have been on a journey, and we are different people than we were when we left. it's hard to explain. but everything is different now, even though it's so very much the same. i am not quite sure what to do with myself. and life, of course, doesn't care what i think. it just keeps coming. 100 mph.
anyway. we're back home. and i'm back to blogging.
