Breaks are awesome

Sigh...it's been a lazy three weeks, sort of. Vacation for two weeks and recuperation for one. Headed to Europe for our annual summer visit. It was nice to see family and friends. We were blessed to have the use of a relative's home (and got to visit her summer house too). With plans about every other day, it was a rest for the entire family.
Boy was a little difficult that first week. He's just not a fan of walking, but loved the trams, metro, buses. By the second week, he stopped complaining about the walking. So proud of my little man. Girl was in a stroller most of the time, the easy one. Kids got to sleep in the same bed, which Boy didn't care for much, as Girl is a kicker. They did keep each other up some nights, but then the parents relaxed in a separate room.
Wow, we had so much sweets! Must have had blueberry pie after every second meal. Multiple ice cream treats per day (Boy actually denied his fourth ice cream of the day once, but returned later to claim it - unfortunately Mom already ate it). The weather was beautiful, not nearly as hot as in Florida.
So back to the grind last week and just could not get myself to post. Boy was home and everyone was getting over jet lag. This week he started school. Things are going pretty well, although he complained today that school takes so long. There just aren't enough hours for Wii and Lego as far as he is concerned.
Have started transition-related paperwork. Sort of hard to concentrate on official tasks when I've not worked for this long. So easy to get distracted. Like to make a post entry...
