It is so fun to be home!! My sister Lyn and I stayed up until 2 a.m. the first night we were home and last night eight of us stayed up until 1 a.m. Who knows what will happen tonight!

Walking to Hidden Oaks Nature Center.

This afternoon we went on a walk to a nearby nature center and the surrounding woods. We used to live in the townhouses that back up to the woods and go exploring all the time. It was great fun to wander through again. Elise kept saying things like, “Mommy – I remember this!” and “Look! There’s the bridge we used to walk on!” Bobby and I are really thinking about buying a townhouse in that neighborhood again when we get back. My thing about buying a townhouse is the loss of a backyard. But if we back up to woods, the backyard becomes a whole lot larger.

Tonight we will have a party with family and some friends. Tomorrow we sleep. Happy New Year everyone!
