Home is Where your Stuff is...

It was interesting to feel a bit homesick for Texas...but we did!  We have had a little over a week to settle back into our routine (if you call any part of summer routine).  The kids had two riding lessons last week (one was a make up), we spent a few solid hours at the library, swam in the pool, took some walks, and met up with friends.  Zevon was sooooo very happy to be back home.  He missed us all, but especially me.  He was even trying to follow me into the bathroom the first few days home.  That dog was not going to let me out of his sight!  One of our first missions when we returned to the Woodlands was to see if the duck eggs had hatched.  They did!  Those little babies are learning quickly that humans are a great food source.  They already eat from our hands!  Last Saturday night we had our friends the Dutys over for BBQ.  Scott was excited to cook for 13 people! He said it reminded him of his Coast Guard days...  It is amazing how much meat 9 kids can put down!  The kids had a blast in the pool, and playing games into the night.   Scott and I enjoyed catching up with Elisabeth and Jeff.
