Back to blogging

I'm back... to the world of blogging... I think....

The Littles are back in school (all day) and for the first time in 5 years I have time to work during the day.

Some of you know that I have a travel agency (home based) for something like 14 years now. Since Lily came home I have been working in the evening or whenever she was napping. Then Ty came home, we put our old house up for sale 4 months later, remodeled (well a builder did that part) our current house, packed everything while Jeff was driving 2.5 hours each way to work 4 days a week, moved, unpacked, and got busy with life the last few years. In all of that I still worked (during the evenings) from my home office.

Well, this year the Littles are in school all day and I am back to working during normal hours. The first day they were in school I thought back over the last 5 years and just took a big deep breath. It felt like we had been running a race the last 5 years. It was one big happy whirlwind. Now we are starting a whole new kind of race... maybe a new chapter is the better word.

The Littles LOVE school! It took a few weeks to get adjusted to full days and I'm pretty sure they're still adjusting (me too). AND..... while I miss them being here it is nice to have a little time to myself again. Now if I can only remember how to balance office work with the laundry that is lurking just around the corner...not to mention the long list of projects I would LOVE to get done.

We are not the only ones adjusting......Our kitten Hershey was NOT thrilled with them going to school. He does what he can to keep them from leaving.... blocking the door... .laying on shoes or coats... toting their socks away...etc...

AND.... he must feel that I need some company because he spends the morning laying right in the middle of my desk covering all of my work.

Back to the blog.... I was hoping to have this blog updated by now but obviously that hasn't happened. I have been working on the rest of our Disney pictures..... goodness that seems like a LONG time ago that we went there. At any rate I am going to finish posting the pictures and then who knows maybe I can get something new and fresh on here. :-) We can all hope.......

So a little rewind back to the Disney cruise.....

These are from our day at the Disney private island Castaway Cay....

When we arrived it was cloudy and looked like it could rain.... By the end of the day it was a sunny day at the beach....

Lily climbing Jeff.... she was tired of walking...

Picking up our floats.... I pushed Lily around on one of these the entire day....

Ty LOVED playing in the sand...

Lily DIVA dancing at our BBQ lunch......

Ty COVERED in sand (and I do mean covered)... plugging his ears when I told him it was time to go back to the ship......
