Back home


 We’ve made it back to Illinois!  Our two week vacation to Tennessee was very much enjoyed, but it is good to be home.  We got back on Friday, which made it really nice to have the weekend to readjust before starting a new week and Sean starting back to work.  It was also really nice to have a two week vacation because we definitely felt like we had good time away.  We discussed rolling our time share week over every time now so we have a two week vacation every other year instead of one week every year.  


And pleasant surprise, we came back home to the pond not being frozen any more, lots of birds, a beaver, and today it has been sunny and 60!  We also got to go back to our church for the first time since Christmas I think!!!!  yay!  


And so nice to see the cats - they even acted like they missed us - and we got Connor back yesterday from Puppy Head Start Obedience training.  :). Time to start the week!
