Back from Oregon!

We just got back from Oregon on Sunday. It was a nice, relaxing trip to visit family and friends. I know that Andy gets a little sad when we have to leave because he does have some truly amazing "people" in Oregon. By "people" I mean both family and friends. He views many of his friends as family too so I will lump them all together. The kids had a great time visiting with their grandparents, cousins and other lovely people. Zach was actually sad to leave this time. He is finally starting to understand what leaving means and that he will miss people. There were many good things that we have brought back from our trip, but a few bad ones too! The kids brought back colds, I brought back a messed up back, Zach brought back a 10 o'clock bedtime and Ava brought back a habit of sleeping with us! I can't say I mind too much though. This was the turning point with Zach too. We did so well the first few months and then it all went downhill after the first trip away and the first illness. It's nice to be home though!
