thank (god we're home) sgiving

i'm sitting in bed surrounded by luggage

that has yet to be unpacked.

i haven't set out the first christmas decoration

or bought one gift.

its cyber monday and i don't even feel like

taking advantage of the deals.

i'm just so happy to finally be home and

back in my own bed that all i want to do

is lay here.

 

we traveled to illinois to visit ronnie's

family for thanksgiving.

it was a seven hour drive,

but we left in the evening so

baby boops slept through the whole thing.

unfortunately, that's where the easy part stopped.

we couldn't find a good way for her to nap

so after four days of lacking sleep,

she was one fussy baby.

we missed her swing and our quiet house.

instead she spent lots of time in my arms.

 

but it was nice to get back to the farm

and see all the family.

plus it was the first time ronnie's grandma got to see brette

and ronnie's mom hadn't seen her since she was born.

ronnie's sister and her family made their first trip to illinois too.

they soaked up four full days with brette

and we logged a lot of family time.

there is so much to be thankful for,

but right now

i'm just really thankful to be home and

in my own bed.

 

now someone come unpack my clothes and decorate my house.

thanks.
