Perhaps it's because we all so very quickly fell back into our usual routines, after a bittersweet evening on the night of our return home in which we marveled at the quiet and solitude of our little house in comparison to where we'd just been. Perhaps, for me, because a few days mid-week were overshadowed by my fixation on the news I received following the completion of the pathology results from my miscarriage. Perhaps it's because we've managed some major changes around here in such a short time, including a new haircut for Michael, the self-installation of new DIY shelving in our basement, and the accomplishment of some long-needed and insanely mood-improving strides towards getting the house clean and functioning again.
Perhaps it's just because we miss everyone so much that it doesn't take long to feel like it's been too long away.

Overheard this week:
Abby
As the first lines of Queen's We Will Rock You begin to play over the car stereo: "You guys won't rock me! You'll never rock me!"
Michael
"I want that."
Mia
"Zzzz..." (Despite falling back into old habits in NJ, she's been sleeping through the night like a champ since our first night home.)
