  3. I'm glad you made home in one piece. I can't believe how much your luggage weighed! That's unbelievable. I'm glad you enjoyed your bday. I know how it feels to have that post-vacation let-down. I'm sure you will be glad to get back into your old routine. And there's nothing like sleeping in your own bed. Thanks for including all of us in your vacation. It was fun!

  4. Woooosh! That's HEAVY luggage to have to carry!

    Poor Butterfly. And poor you.

    Glad you didn't come back yesterday, it was horribly hot and nasty. Today is much better! Thanks for bringing the cooler air with you!

  7. Oh my ... I so remember those not-too-distant traveling days. It really is a joke to travel with kids ... especially when sick. You go girl! Glad you all made it back safe. I'll bet you are missing home and family already!

    Yay for being home! When you say that people "questioned the twin status" do you mean they asked whether the boys were twins? That seems like a ridiculous question. I bet they feel silly after they ask it :)
