Home.

Driving to the airport--Mexico in the background. We didn't make it over
the border on this trip.

The champion fly boy with his wings
(check out those nostrils)

Mike pretty much has him whenever he can.

Happy boys.

My little traveler boy.
No, I did not mean to coordinate our outfits.

We made it home from New Mexico and Autumn has begun--brisk evenings and mornings. It is lovely. Here we go. The little man was an amazing flyer which hopefully bodes well for our 12 hour flight to New Zealand in December. People were surprised when they looked behind them and saw a little baby because he barely even made a peep the whole 4 hour flight.

It is so nice to be back with Mike so he and his boy can spend some time together. I have already promised him that we will not go away (without him) for a very long time. That was hard but I am glad I got to spend some time with my Aunt Bev and see my sister and my other Aunts. The cross country drive was without incident and beautiful. Mom and I both love to drive so it was fun making our way across the many diverse landscapes.It was great to see Dad and spend some days with him in their lovely house in New Mexico (their dessert back garden is beautiful) but back home and it is time for me to get back to work in the Inn. I feel like the haze of new parenthood has worn off and I am fully into the swing of constant fatigue but better able to function--I even made homemade lentil soup tonight. That's right, I am getting back to life.
