Anyone else feel like life with kids is just not quite right when you're away from home? We were in Canada over the holidays, for
3 weeks and man, was it nice to get back. I mean, the trip was great. We love spending time with family, and are so grateful to be able to venture up there, but I guess I didn't realize that things were off until we got back home to normalcy. Jude loves being with family, and cousins, but our life at home is so peaceful, calm. I think all the people/chaos was starting to get to him. He was just a bit more challenging, a bit more fussy. And Layla; she's a champ, but her sleeping schedule got off while we were there.
I was so thankful for adaptable kids while we were traveling (19 hours in the car, each way!), and then I got home and realized that - *sigh* - I love my calm life. I love to wake up slow, and gradually work our way out of the house, or decide to stay home all day, and enjoy just being with my kids. I'm a lucky woman to be able to spend so much time with them. They're pretty great.
