Disaster dinners and jetlag

I realize my last post was a month ago!  At the last minute, we decided to take a two week trip to the States to visit all our family.  And I mean ALL our family.  James and Mary Martin got to see all of their first cousins and even some second cousins!  We got back about 10 days ago and it took us a solid week to get readjusted.  The jetlag alone took three days to get over.  Here is what jetlag looks like on Mary Martin.  This is at about 7 pm on day two in Paris...  Asleep sitting straight up on the couch...

As for me, it took a week to get used to having to cook for my little family again.  I only cooked when I wanted to in the States.  Magically, home made meals would just appear at every home I visited!  We had two disastrous dinners of tacos that were too spicy to eat and a pasta salad that was just gross.  This week I am proud to report my meals were much better.  Whew! 

We have been busy since we got back, readjusting and getting ready for school.  James starts Pre-K next week and Mary Martin will start half days at the same school. 

However, I will try and get my blogs caught up.  There are many photos from our trip and some others from before our trip, like from the Tour de France.  Stay tuned...
