So Long, Farewell...

So we had a WONDERFUL vacation to Utah and are finally back in Ohio. We had such a good time it has been hard for us to come back. We didn't realize how much we missed being with family all of the time. We were able to do so much and see so much of our families. It really was nice. Thanks to all of you for setting aside the time to spend time with us or letting us stay at your homes, we really appreciated it. Emma had such a fabulous time. She is soooo social and we love it. We just need to make sure to let that great quality shine even though Mike and I are both a little socially shy. It is amazing to see how much she has grown in the past month. She is smiling all of the time and starting to laugh. Her giggle is so cute and she can always put a smile on my face. Emma did pretty well on the flight home and slept for 8 hours last night. I was a little worried about her when I realized I hadn't woken up with her in the middle of the night. I guess we all have a little jet-lag.

Today was quite the adventure. It was such a nice morning that Emma and I woke up and went for a walk. After getting ready for the day Mike discovered that our car wouldn't start. We had to get someone to come and jump start it for us. After the car died 3 times and having to have 3 jump starts we decided that it was probably time for a new battery. After getting a new battery as well as stalking up our bare kitchen cabinets I realized that I had a message from Mike. He had called to tell me (3 hours prior) that he didn't have anything he could work on up at campus yet and asked if I could come and get him. Needless to say he didn't have a very productive day just sitting in his lab for 3 hours with nothing to do. I better turn my phone off of "silent" mode eh?

So we are slowly getting back into the swing of things, but it may take a little while. Once exciting thing is that I am going to see Harry Potter tomorrow. Woo Hoo. I'll let ya know how it goes.
