A Weekend at Home!

I spent the weekend at home with Don and the kids! It was great for us to all be together, if even for just a short time. The kids were very excited to see me. Milan must have given me 50 kisses while on our way out of the airport. She's changed so much while I was gone. She can cruise quite well and has learned several new words. We played a lot of hide and seek and peek a boo. She loves that game.
Mzee has matured while I was gone too, and learned some new phrases: "I know everything" is one that comes to mind. He loves to build with blocks now and make tall towers with the Jenga game. He kept telling me all weekend, "Mommy, I missed you so much!"
My flight to New York was better than expected since there was a mechanical problem with my plane in Omaha, so they moved me to a nonstop flight back, which was great.
The house hunt is finished, I think. I got a call that one house I'd looked at that I didn't think was an option for several reasons, was available for less money. They are even willing to construct a fence as I told them that was a deal breaker. I went back to check the house out tonight and told them we would take it. It isn't the "perfect house" I'd mentioned before, but it is a great house and the neighborhood is wonderful! There are two parks within walking distance and the town has sidewalks so we can take walks like we do at home. And, the town is closer to the city, which means a shorter and cheaper commute everyday!
