Final stop then home!

We packed up on Friday and headed 3 hours south to Massachusetts to stay with Jason's brother, Graham and his family. His parents came down on Saturday as did his brother Matt and his family. The girls were really looking forward to this time to spend with their cousins. Sofia was excited that it would be just like when we were in Scotland and they had so much fun together. It was nice to see the cousins playing together so well. I should really say it was nice to NOT see them playing since they all spent most of the time together in the playroom and I didn't need to go in since their was no fighting! Unfortunately I didn't think to take pictures early enough and I didn't get any of Keely and Aliana but here is one of the girls with Alex and Justin.

The weather was beautiful over the weekend and we did spend time outside since the weather was very spring-like. It may have even hit 60 degrees (F) on Sunday. I went for a run on Saturday and I was so hot I wished I had been wearing shorts! On Sunday we headed to the airport with the help of Graham. We had so much stuff to bring back that it wouldn't fit in our rental car. Graham was kind enough to help us load everything into their SUV and drive us to the airport.

The plane ride was uneventful. The kids slept a little and we arrived home yesterday at 11am. It was so nice to visit with all of our family. It was fun to shop and ski and relax. The sun was amazing! I think it was cloudy three days while we were there. We were greeted in Prague with clouds and rain today. Even with the clouds though I am happy to be home. Three weeks is a long time to be away. It was nice to walk to run errands today and it was nice to speak with my friends here again. The girls were excited to go to school and they were greeted by their friends today with such joy. It will be nice to get back into our daily lives.
