We are back from our adventures, and what fun we had! The boys were terrific travellers, and it was such a joy to share it all together. Perry and I travelled quite a bit before having children, and though travelling looks quite different with little ones (and a pregnant mama too!) - we had such a wonderful time. The thrill of all the newness- the ocean, the language, the food- was so exciting for our little boys, and it was such a delight to watch them learn and engage and explore and to make new friends, and just dive head first (so to speak!) into in such a different world. It will be a good while before we'll be able to afford another trip like this, but the timing was perfect for this one- before entering the newborn realm again, and with the boys at such a terrific age for travelling. And we are inspired to start saving our pennies for an adventure sometime in the coming years.
The boys and I continued our trip after Perry had to head home for work, and we took a ferry boat over to see my sister's family and to love up the baby cousin for a few days. So lovely. These boys are going to make terrific big brothers (and this baby is going to have to get used to a lot of lovin' and noisy affection pretty quickly!)
and we are home now, settling back in, welcoming the spring that arrived while we were gone, nursing the colds we brought home with us, and just enjoying being home again.
