HOME

We are home.  The word home has been odd to us since we moved to Ohio.  I would say to Kiara and Mckenna that we are going home when we would travel to Seattle pretty much everytime.  Tom would correct me and remind me that Ohio was home.   Before this last trip to Seattle, Tom found himself saying to the girls that we are going home.  Walking into our house last night it was apparent to all of us (except Ava who cried and seemed to have no memory of this place) that this is home.  Ohio is home.  This is where Kiara and Mckenna go to school, where we say prayers at night, this is where we blast the music and have dance parties, where Ava came home from the hospital (both times), where all of our stuff is, where the girls can go outside and walk to a friends house and ask if they want to play, where daddy's work is, and where we live.

Being in Seattle, Boise, Seaside, Vancouver Island, and Bainbridge for vacation was more than amazing.  We all had so much fun and have talked about little else since we have been back.  We loved seeing all of our family and friends and spending so much time with everyone.  This vacation was amazing.  But things have changed, because that is what it was, a vacation.  We are home and that is good too.
