Vacation

The van Brackel family is back from vacation, more physically rather than mentally. I know both Jason and I are dragging a bit. Vacation was relaxing, but coming home was exhausting. Michael's teething seems to be getting tougher....for all of us. He is fighting sleep and keeps waking up with circles under his eyes...poor guy. Playing is not something he wants to do for too long as he would love to just veg. So, Michael and Mommy's routine the past few mornings has been to cuddle on the couch together watching the latest on the Olympics. He is still his usual sweet self, smiling at us and making us laugh with his constant blowing raspberries. One of these days I am going to video tape him doing this because it is absolutely hilarious. Our car ride home from vacation was 4 hours long rather then the usual 2.5-3 hours (due to Bay Bridge accident in MD..yes, it caused problems for us). Most of the ride home Michael blew raspberries and the faces that accompanied this activity were priceless. At least Jason and I were entertained during our ride home.
