Our whirlwind trip to Orlando is over and we're gearing up for a weekend of company. Hooray for old friends! (Not that you are old, Laura B.). My time in Florida was not really a "pleasure trip" although I did get to see my grandparents and some family, which was great. I went down to see my biological father who is in an assisted living facility while he recovers from the effects of alcoholism on his body. There is a chance he will recover even more in time. I'm hopeful because 6 months ago he could barely speak and over the weekend his long-term memory seemed great and he was able to help me navigate around town. He enjoyed the two days we had together and we put several hundred miles on my grandfather's car.
It's good to be home again- amazing how all it takes is a few days away to realize how lovely is one's home. Laundry, menus, grocery shopping, birthday planning, and just general Get Back to Normal stuff will fill my week. If I have ANY free time this week my Etsy shop will have a grand opening. It's a goal, that's all I can say. I have high hopes, but I also have three kids. :)
Here are a few pictures from the weekend...unfortunately, we didn't get pictures with all the grandparents and great-grandparents.

i'm glad you're home. :) and, don't sweat it about the title. you're more awesome than your titles. love you.
isn't the title supposed to convey what the post is about? You get an A+ ;)
guess who else was in FL this weekend? I was in Tampa and West Palm Beach thursday-monday. I guess seeing each other wouldn't really have worked, but that's kind of interesting.
I'm so glad I don't live in FL O:)
