The whirlwind tour is over.
After more than 2 months of guests and/or traveling, we are back home, all alone, and working on recovering. (Though I still haven't attempted unpacking yet . . . maybe tomorrow.)
We had an incredibly fabulous (though very busy) trip to the US and thoroughly enjoyed bringing Eric's parents and youngest sister back with us to Brasil for a couple weeks. But I must admit, walking back into our apartment at midnight Sunday was a good feeling - having no pending plans for a while is rather appealing right now.
Although poor Hubby is back to the grind at work, Gabriela and I are taking the opportunity to rest and recover from all the running. And apparently the little chickadee needed the rest - it's after 11:00 and except for getting up for 20 minutes to eat at 8:00, Gabs is still sound asleep!
I'll attempt to recap our weeks away real soon, but for now I might go curl up on the couch with a book and take advantage of the quiet!
Our story in a nutshell:
Iowa Farmboy meets Southern Belle, girl finishes college and moves from Georgia to Iowa to be closer to boy, boy marries girl, boy's job takes them both to Belo Horizonte, Brasil. One year later they have a baby (Gabriela Marina), another year passes and they move back to Iowa. A few months later they have a 2nd baby (Lilian Scarlett). The 3rd girl (Makayla Jasmine) joins the family a couple years after that. Boy continues job with a construction equipment maufacturing company in Burlington, Iowa; girl attempts to balance being a stay at home mom while working as a birth doula and childbirth educator.
We laugh a lot, travel as often as we can, and try to enjoy every moment of the craziness that is our lives. Thanks for joining us on the journey!
