What I’ve Learned Along the Way

We are actually home.  It has been so nice to do all the basic things like clean my own house, put clothes in drawers and closets.  Grocery shop, cook.  Have a separate room from Norah.  I’m sure I’ll get use to it, and want a break from it all.  But for now i’m loving it!  

Last night we had friends stop by and Norah was the typical selfish child.  We’ve been here four days and she knows this is her territory.  I think that was the first time she had someone on her turf.  She’s usually the guest.  Sharing is a tough concept.  

Working on an actual schedule now. 11 pm isn’t cutting it.  She’s a good little sleeper though, once she crashes.

Norah watching Nemo

We have been traveling since the beginning of March.  It’s been fun most of the time.  But there have def. been moments of , Where is my home?  I need it now…

I’m blessed in so many ways we get to do things most people don’t get to, but it comes at the expense of other things, like routine, familiarity, and my own bed.  I’d like to complain a little but i can’t we are blessed beyond any “sacrifice”.

I’ve discovered Norah seems to have this incredible attention span.  She could sit through an entire movie, her favorite of course,”Finding Nemo”, I think it is because of all our time in the car.  So i guess that’s not so bad.  We’ve had lots of time with family up here in New England, some of it has been more than enough :)  But that’s okay too.  So we get to see our home in June, less than a month left.  I definitely  look forward to it.  But I’m enjoying this too.
