Back home

Well, we made it back home after a full week in Hilton Head. Tony and I had a nice mini-vacation, while John and Keats stayed at our house with Mimi and Pa.
Please check out the day-by-day journal at Grandpaparazzi's Neighborhood if you haven't already. It really kept me going to know that John was having such a great time. Special thanks to the K family for also entertaining John while we were out of town.

We picked John up from school today and he was very happy to see us! He was very huggy then and at bedtime. There were a couple of small meltdowns here and there, mostly just testing to see what he was going to get away with... juice box, sleeping in the big bed, and who's going to control going from one activity to another. He had a great time showing us his new remote control bulldozer, which is in fact very awesome. It even has a button that plays dance music! Wacky!

I think the trip length was just about right... if not possibly one day too long for John...
But we all survived, and it was good for all of us. Now we have a day and a half to transition back into our family unit before moving into real life again! Tony only has five weeks of classes with three weeks of shows, so hopefully we can hang in there until summer!
