Back Home and Playing

We've been back in our own digs for almost a whole week now - after a solid six weeks of being gone at least every weekend, and sometimes as long as nine days at a time. Whew! The travels were fun, but it's nice to be home again.

We have a lot of great photos from our travels that we'll be getting online sometime soon; but in the meantime, here is Eva playing her new version of hide and seek at the breakfast table with us today. She did this for about five minutes and we could not stop laughing. This kid is getting more fun by the minute! She keeps us giggling a lot of the time and is becoming more and more of a little girl/toddler with her own personality and quirks, which is very fun to see. She also did better with the travels as they progressed and adapted pretty well to having her bed on the road for so long. Mom and dad also got better at understanding this new phase of hers that now includes stronger opinons and mini-tantrums; I suppose that is what parenting is going to be like - she changes, we figure it out, she changes again. :) All in all, this toddler stage is a very fun one, and it was fun to share her with so many family and friends during our travels.
