Well, we made it home safe and sound. Physically sound, but the jury is still out on the mentally sound part. Overall, the girls were VERY good for the 2 day drive from Las Vegas. The problem is that: A) I still went to Joann's on Friday morning at 5 am so I was way too tired to drive from Las Vegas to Portland B) Even if the kids are good for 75% of the time, that still leaves 5 hours of crying and craziness. (mainly on Elise and Lilly's part) Glad to be out of the car, but I do wish we could have stayed in Las Vegas a little longer. When we got home, Elise ran into the house exclaiming "Home! Home! Home! We're home!" It warms my heart to see them so happy to return home. Hannah was saying something about how she missed the smell of home. Sweet little girls. I was more like "Yeah! No more driving in the car for long periods of time when all I really want to do is sleep. " We arranged the trip around a few fun stops for the girls. On the way down, our lunch break coincided with Lake Tahoe, which we had never seen before. On the way back, we arranged a dinner break in Salt Lake City to see the lights on Temple Square. We were blessed with great weather, no snow and minimal rain. Here are a few pictures from the trip. (let's place extra emphasis on the word few. You don't exactly take tons of pictures at a funeral, all though I think you should and I left my camera in the car at Salt Lake City. Chris says we must not have even gone since we have no proof!)

You are such a good Mom - to establish a place that your kids love to call HOME. I'm glad that you made your trip safe and sound. I would have loved to see you. Perhaps another time under better circumstances.
I know it's dumb, but it made me feel all happy and sentimental to see Hannah wearing something that my girls used to. I think it just makes me realize how much they've grown.
Glad you're back - now call me back!
