Home Again Home Again

Instead of jiggety jig it should continue to say, And unpack for three days all of the five suitcases :). It must just be me that has overpacking issues but I will continue to stand by the whole "what if we need it" excuse. Well and that one of the suitcases is FULL of all stuff from TJ's. If you don't know what TJ's is, it is the second hardest reason not to live in AZ behind all of our family!

We have just spent the last two and a half weeks in HOT Arizona. It was great to get back to see all the family and introduce everyone to Mr. Carter. He met so many people and I truly think not only was it busier with three kids but we were busier in general this trip. Carter was blessed to meet the rest of his grandparents, his two beautiful great-grandmas and ALL of my cousins and their kids plus my aunts, uncles and his Uncle B too! We were able to see friends who flew in town or were already there that we don't get to see often enough (Jill & Nadia and the Kennett klan). The kids had a blast and love spending time around family and of course staying with Nonie. It is great to come back home though and get into a routine and slow down but conflicting too because this is when the questions arise about why we have to wait so long to see everyone again, or why does Nonie live in AZ or why can't we go out next weekend (the big one said mommy, it's not that hard to fly with all of us :). That's the hard part as a mom to see your kids torn. But it's all they really know and it reminds me again and again how blessed we are here to have such amazing friends who are like our family!

There are so many pics...mine which I haven't even downloaded but because this trip I either had a baby in my hands or was taking care of the other two I relied a ton on others taking pics. I need to get all of them from family and friends and then do an update of our pictures of this trip.

It's good to be back but already starting to think about the fall and school. Did this summer really go this fast...I was afraid of that!
