Back to Normal

Well we are getting back to the routine. We woke up early and drove Kara and Julio 2 hours to the airport. Its always a long drive because we turn right around and drive back 2 hours. Thank goodness for the DVD player in the car. It keeps the boys from slugging each other which seems to be a new thing in our house.  I need to stay on top of that!

Julio called and said that they got home safe and were on their way home from the airport.

It has been a very busy week but we had a great time.  It was nice to have a break of the normal schedule.  

I spent some time trying to clean up a bit and get the house back to normal.  I have a ton of laundry to do since the washing machine is still broken.  I can use it if I want to sop up water from the floor.  I might have to do one load to be sure Christian has school clothes for Monday.  The repair man is bringing the parts to fix it Monday morning...FINALLY!  If anyone was wondering if the SHAM WOW really works, it does.  I bought them because of the leaking washing machine :)

We got a box from Dominic on Tuesday.  It had pictures and Flat Stanley.  I made a scrapbook for Christian to take to school with him.  There were lots of pictures with Flat Stanley.  Dominic also flew an American Flag with him in honor of Christian's 3rd grade class, so he will be able to take that to present to his teacher on Monday.  

I really missed Dominic this week.  I didn't get to spend much time on the computer chatting with him via email like I have been.  We made it beyond the half-way point now.  Dominic says its downhill from here.  He tells me that he is ready to come home now and that makes me feel sad.  I know in the beginning that he missed us but he was happy to be there and doing his job.  Now he just wants to be done so he can come home to be with us.  He knows that he's missing so much of the boys and I know that makes us both sad.  I can't wait to see him!
