Well, we survived vacation! It was awesome to go see our families, especially since its been a year and a half since we have seen some of them. We had a lot of fun shopping, eating, laughing and talking. And shopping. You know its a good vacation when you leave with one large suitcase + a small carryon and return with TWO HUGE STUFFED suitcases, a guitar case, and a bulging carryon. I think Ladybug got spoiled in the clothing and shoe department while we were with family, haha! She loved spending time with everyone, especially helping Grandma and the Aunts baking in the kitchen!
I think it is going to take us the rest of the week to recover - not only do I have a toddler to get back on a semi-normal schedule, but I have 37 million loads of laundry to do. And then there is our poor digestive systems to regulated too. Oh man, did we abuse them. But everything was soo delicious, and we had to get our fill of Chipotle, Starbucks, Gates, Gram's no bake cookies, and Zombie Burger. No joke, I gained 5 pounds. I heard Joel grumbling when he weighed himself this morning, too, but he won't tell me how much he gained. We will definitely be subsiding on produce this week and nothing else! :)
