We are home. Well I am at work today but we got back from Alaska Saturday morning around 7am. And actually recovering wasn't too bad but it helps if you can take lots of naps and your kid does too. It also rained here all weekend which made staying in and resting a good thing. I returned to work to loads of email and some little fires but all in all okay. Mom and the kids let the butterflies go last weekend so that is five fewer mouths to feed. And everyone looks no worse for the wear. I bought my mom jade earrings for her courage all week. We got the kids geodes to crack open with a hammer. Maybe we can do that tonight. Keegan made me promise to take him to a park one day to look for bears. Jeff and I would love to take the kids camping in Alaska in a few years. We had a wonderful time and he really got to take a nice break from work. Let me sort through our 600 pictures and I will post a few. I leave for Vermont tomorrow morning but that is just until Wednesday evening.
