Back to Reality

Today was a bit of a downer. I don't know why it's taken so long, but it seems to finally be settling in that all the wonderful friends we made this weekend have returned to their various corners of the world, and we will not see them for a very long time. That just stinks - we had so much fun with these incredible people, it is really depressing to think we won't get to have more times like that anytime soon. Add to that my dad flying out this evening, and it's been one harsh dose of reality after another.

There is, however, a silver lining to all this. Tonight when Ava, Jocelyn and I came home from the dance studio, it was just the 5 of us once again. I played in the living room with Molly for a few minutes, and Ben had silly conversations with Ava and Jocie at the dinner table. It was a nice reminder that while it's always fun to spend time with other family and friends, our little core family is pretty great too. It's sad to say good-bye to others, but I am trying to look on the bright side and get excited about enjoying our own little family just on its own for a while.
