HOME! ........for a week

Sunday, October 14
After over 14,000 miles we docked at the home base today. We decided to make a stop near Christiansburg to see the McClennahans, who used to live in Berryville. After a 3 hour visit with them we headed home and arrived at 10 pm. To the kids, it was like Christmas morning. They were so excited to see their rooms and toys they had forgotten they had. Bailey was the cutest as her room was like a new place to her. The kids were so hyped up, we couldn’t get them to bed until 11:30. Brandon and Seth were the two kids that couldn’t wait to get their own bed. However, when they realized how far away from Mom and Dad they would be they both asked if they could sleep together. Bailey also had trouble. For 4 months she went to bed seeing Mom and Dad and having a brother by her side. To sleep by herself was scary. However, everyone did just fine. This week we are taking it easy and getting some chores done around the house. Next Sunday we leave for Cape Canaveral to see the shuttle launch!
