This is what home is...

So my childhood home may have gone through a few changes. Surprisingly I like the change. Maybe it's because going home means so much more than the house. Home is....


Picking Mac's on a crisp autumn day...


Wearing boots everywhere...

even when inside...



celebrating a birthday...

adoring an Uncle...really look at Marinny's face!


having "Fluffernutter Fridays"...



learning fire safety from a local hero...



Getting some ice cream with Grams...



being exhausted from traveling...



getting tutored by a world class teacher...



Getting taken care of by this guy...wish he could still cart me around still:)



Doing some gardening ...



and a lot of jumping...jammies and boots-ya I'm a good mom:)



Playing a little catch...




ring pop time with pepere...



sharing the backyard with these guys...



But most of all home is time with these special people.


Thank you so much mom and dad...we had an unforgettable time. And, we are counting down the days until Christmas already.

I'm so glad you had a great time!! Morgan and I were really jealous that we weren't up there with you. Hopefully we'll make it out to Utah soon.... (I'm pushing for Morgan's spring break!)

Great pictures of home. River picture of the kids is incredible. You actually got Evan on record!
But don't you miss the hundred pound sliding door on the "barn" (not garage) door?

The only bad thing about having a home that your kids like coming home to for a respite is that there always comes a time (the next week) when the home turns back into just a " House on 61 Hillside road". Still grieving no toys about the living room,...
