Summer is over. School has started. We are back into the swing of things here in the city. The transition home this year has been a strange one. Bryan is with us which is unusual. (He was able to take Emmett to class on his first day of Kindergarten which was really important to him and was totally awesome.) Both boys are in school now so we are getting used to 2 lunches, 2 backpacks, 2 sets of paperwork, 2 packets of homework, etc... The strangest thing for me is that I don't feel like I have missed 3 months of time here. It honestly feels like I went out our back door and a few minutes later, entered our front door. Everything is the same - including the pace of life that we left. That's probably what gets me the most this time around. I TOTALLY appreciate the life we have at camp, the pace, the routine, the ease, the time with family. The boys are happy to be back but overwhelmed at the same time. There are night time fears that weren't there before and tears that come on all of a sudden. All in all though it is good to be home and everyone is rested, happy, and doing well.
