Michigan: Part II

Well, we returned safe and somewhat sound from our rockin' trip to Michigan. I say somewhat because the last leg of our flight was somewhat traumatic. But that deserves a blog entry all on its own. Stay tuned... I'll try to write that one tomorrow.

There are some really great things about Michigan. The landscape is beautiful, the people are actually nice and give you space to merge onto the freeway, it's cheaper than California (shocker), there are a TON a fun things to do, there are flocks of geese that walk across the busy intersections, and there are squirrels the size of small cats. I kid you not. But most importantly, there are fireflies. Have you ever seen a firefly in person??!! They are truly amazing! I hate to admit it, but they actually deserve to be called "magical."

My mom and her new husband Bob, were kind enough to let us stay in their home. Also living under the same roof, were Bob's son Joe, my brother Sam and his wife Chey. We were one BIG, cozy, happy family! We really had a blast... lots of laughing, eating, bike riding, exploring, and playing with Zoe. Especially playing with Zoe.

It was a much needed trip for us. We are so thankful for the time we had to re-coop, breathe deeply, and spend precious time with our wonderful family. And yes, it was hard to say goodbye... as it always is.

But it is also good to be home. Familiarity can bring so much comfort and peace sometimes.... especially for a really cute 9 month old baby I know.
