Home Again

We spent Easter mostly on the road. Left our house at 7:40 (it was supposed to be 7:00, but Gracie waking up at 4:00 again meant that we all overslept), met Mom, Lis, and David at Cracker Barrel at 9:30, and by 11:30 Carl had left for Chicago; Lis and David were on their way back to Buffalo; and Mom, the littles, and I were coming up north for the week.

The girls tumbled out of the car, ready to play outside, just about as soon as we pulled into the driveway. They spent nearly all day yesterday outside, reveling in the sunshine and freedom to run. I sat on the porch with a book, doing some reveling myself, and ended the day with a sunburn. In April. In northern New York, of all places!

It's raining today (surprise, surprise), but Joy and I have appointments to get our hair cut this afternoon anyway, so a rainy day isn't too much of a problem. It'll probably be easier to get them in the car and to the hairdresser than if it was beautiful sunshine out!

Aside from Grace not sleeping well at night (which means I don't sleep well either, since we're all three in the same room), we're having a marvelous time. Which means there probably won't be much blogging this week.

We'll be too busy having fun. For a change.
