home sweet home

so we made it back yesterday evening and all is well. the flight went well, uneventful really. all boys slept. andy got some good sleep and i slept little as i was uncomfortable really, so i walked and stood a lot! but i watched oxford murders and really enjoyed it. we rented a car once we got to heathrow and it was a bit hard to drive a manual car after 3+ weeks in an automatic!! we had a nice vauxhall zafira i think it was...very nice! i didn't want to return it today! =(

we actually realized on the way out of london that we didn't know where our keys were! we couldn't remember seeing them when we were packing up so we stopped in redditch first to have a quick look, then called to see who had them last. our window trims were stained our downstairs hallway and upstairs bathroom were painted too while we were gone! it was great to come home to that...but because of that we had left 1 set of keys with some of our friends who sorted mail and stuff and then later on finished off the painting stuff that andy's mom and dad started so they had set 2. set 3 we thought we had taken them with us, but they were actually here in the house, sitting in the back door. hmmm, don't know what happened there! so anyway, we stayed at avril's house until pheobe got home from work as she had hold of them! so it was all good and we got in the house around 8;30ish. both boys were asleep, jonah i fed and put to bed and andy and i were asleep by 9:30. all 3 boys were up in the night. at midnight they were hungry and thirsty so they shared a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! we switched around in the night, you know, musical beds, but all was good and we slept till 8:30! that was super nice though we still felt a little out of sorts!

so thats all for now, will write again in a few days when i have some more photos complete!

Jet lag is terrible once you get back to England, so I hope you all get adjusted quickly. I am glad you had a good time in America. It is hard to realise I am here for good sometimes and the other day I was so ready to move back to England. I am sure I will adjust, and I do enjoy being near family, that is really the only thing that keeps me here...even though I didn't mind being away from them, I love being close to them.
