Culture Shock

Arriving home tonight was like culture shock. After 3 restful days of what now seems like silence, tonight came the noise. I realize now that the QUIET was the ultimate prize of this time away. I returned home to a house full - 8 adults 4 kids and a cat. Crying babies, shrieking toddlers...and yes even Kashi meowed for attention. (note to family - I loved having you! I'm just saying it was a shocking contrast to the weekend:) ) I'm excited to have Kaylin and Kav back though, and I know that tomorrow will not be quite the same mundane. Rather it will be full of adventure as our family reunites. Still insane, but not mundane.
