It's good to be home. I'm back with my man and the kids are back with their dad. I have now dropped exactly one spot in their favorite people ranking.
We've all been competing for Steve's time and attention. On Friday night, our first day back, Stephen and Mei Li kept interrupting me when I talked to Steve.
Indiana was great. It was nice to have my sister as a companion. I felt even more at home when my parents came to visit during my last week there.
During my first trimester of pregnancy, at times I felt so sick and longed to be close to my mother. Steve did a great job of taking care of things during those times, but there is something so uniquely peaceful and comforting about a mother's care.
My mother did the cooking for everyone in that last week. Her food is so good. There was one night (same night as the previous post) when Mom, Ie Mei, and I stayed up until 1 AM just talking about marriage and parenting. I went to bed that night feeling enlightened.
We were grateful to have my parents help watching the kids so Ie Mei and I could go shopping for home decor. We decorated her entryway and mantle, and we created an ancestral photo wall. Ie Mei just needs to fill one or two more frames before it's complete.
I'll post Indiana pictures another time.
