I am finally back home, and trying desperately to ease my way back into normal life while simultaneously preparing to speak at a conference this weekend and get the kids ready for the first day of school on Monday.
I have consigned myself to the fact that there will be no “normal” for at least a few more weeks.
And to think…..just a few days ago I was enjoying the mountains, the sunshine, the company of family members I did not have to bathe or feed or discipline.


Yes, I did get a haircut. Thanks for asking….
PS – the only child I brought along on the trip was my oldest daughter. The rest of the people pictured here are sisters and nieces and nephews. I love extended family!

How lucky you are to have such a beautiful vacation! Great pics.
Looks like really having fun in vacation. It just that a bonding moments with the family. I love the place you go. Looks so amazing.
Oh, lucky! I’d love to go on vacation (or anywhere) with just one child. You can appreciate things so much when you’re not pulled in a thousand different directions! Welcome back!
Looks like your time was as jam packed as mine! I’m so glad we were able to have lunch together (although we didn’t get a picture!)
Gorgeous photos! One is better than the next. And your beautiful family makes a lovely addition to the gorgeous scenery.
Wow that picture of the mountain is beautiful. The contrast of the white and the green, love it.
Love the new hair cut also.

What a beautiful shot of the mountain. Gorgeous! It’s never fun coming back from vacation… I always think “I need a vacation from vacation.” lol!
Ok, this is too funny! The only child that belongs to me is the teen. I left the rest of my kids at home. The other kids are a mix of nieces and nephews from 2 of my sisters. What’s funny is that it works out to be 3 girls and two boys, just like I have! lol
