8/7/12

Well, it’s here. Time to say goodbye to our friends (for now anyway). Christian was up and off to work at his normal time. I got up when he left to shower and start getting ready for work. The girls woke up around 8:00, I fed them and got them dressed. Our houseguests got everything loaded up in their van and were ready to go around 9:00, so we parted ways. They were off on their long trek home, and I was heading to work. Sad day.

I dropped the girls off at school and their teachers were SO happy to see them again. They were definitely missed, and that warms my heart. Olivia gave all of her little friends a hug like it had been weeks since she’s seen team. It was cute. When I picked them up this afternoon, I was informed that Olivia wouldn’t take a nap – so we had a little chat about that tonight. And, Amelia cried after I left. One week home and she’s reverted back to crying! LOL. Hopefully it was just a one day fluke.

Work was CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY. I had piles all over my desk and lots to catch up on. I’m so thankful that I did keep up on my e-mail and some of my routing while I was home otherwise it would have been really bad. It was time to head home before I knew it, but I did make a really good dent in my work, so it was a successful day.

Once we were all home, we just had a quiet night together. Leftovers for dinner, a little TV time, baths and an early bedtime. We’re trying to get the girls back on a regular schedule now, and Olivia was pretty feisty with her lack of a nap today, so they were ready to go down. I was still addicted to the Olympics tonight, so I was up way too late. Definitely need to get MYSELF back on schedule!

I didn't take any pictures today, but I did put together a little side by side of the girls, at Minnehaha Falls. I thought it was CRAZY how much they both have changed in one year...
