Nebraska

We made it safely home to Nebraska yesterday and the girls survived the 8-hour car ride. Luckily mom was there to keep them occupied (with books and toys), pacified (with pacifiers) and fed (mostly veggie puffs and goldfish.) We both wondered how I will do this by myself when I drive back next week. If the 8-hour car ride wasn't exhausting enough, we went to two different 4th of July parties last night. It was a lot of fun seeing everybody and eating my neighbor's amazing brisket, but the girls and I were both exhausted and went to sleep before the fireworks. Good thing we left because dad got hit in the leg by a firework and now has a pretty nasty sore.

So far Emily and Bri are sleeping great here at grandpa and grandma's house, which is always nice for mom (me). Plus we got our fix of Val's today (Valentino's pizza). And tonight Grandpa (great-grandpa to the girls) and Rita came over for dinner so that was fun.

Jeremy is back home holding down the fort, taking care of Bella, golfing, and most importantly, working. The girls miss daddy and will be anxious to see him next week. And daddy wishes he were here killing squirrels and eating crispy meat burritos from Amigos. Love you and miss you, Jer.

No wonder I haven't seen my girls on skype lately! Glad your summer is going well. We went and saw Wendy and Michael down in Maryland over the weekend. Have a good time in Nebraska and good luck with the girls on the way home.
