No Place Like Home!

    There's no place like home. There's no place like home. I have to tell you ladies I don't think
    there is anyone that is more of a homebody than me! I am terrible. We left on Friday to move
    my MIL here from MI and we arrived home on Sunday afternoon. I can't tell you how happy
    I was when we pulled into the drive and I saw our home welcoming us back again. 


                         However, the whole trip was worth it because of this little guy!
                                           It was worth it because of this little ballerina!
                                                     And this wild haired  toddler!
       After watching our little ballerina at dance class, Papa and I treated our oldest sons family
       to breakfast. We only got to spent Sat. with them, but we crammed in enough time to play      
       hungry hippo and Lego's, some tic-tac toe and computer science games together. Our son is
       out east working at restoring power to all of those who are still out. His 1st week was in MA,
       but he is now in CT. His crew are all working 18 hr. days-7 days a week. I know his family
       will sure be happy when their Daddy gets home again!
       I will be back in a couple of days to show off my new Christmas apron. It is supposed to snow
       Wed. so this will make the perfect background for modeling, don't you think? Jann Olson's
       drawing for another apron is tonight. I can't wait to see who will win and how many of you
       guessed correctly on which apron I chose for myself. Have a Happy Monday friends-Kimberly

  1. What little darlin's they are!!! I don't know if you saw my Victorian Christmas, but I've got lots of fun and tutorials there for Christmas projects.

    Your son is so lucky that he is on the storm...My husband got hurt, so he can't go--sure wish he could!!!

  2. You are so right.. there is no place like home.
    Those are some pretty cute kiddos.... I'm certain that they made the whole trip worth it :)

    Glad you're back safe and sound. Hope that you can get settled back into your routine this week.

    Stay warm... sending hugs.

  7. Hi Kimberly, I agree about being at home. There's just no place better.... Since I was in the hospital twice recently, that made coming home that much sweeter...

    Your grands are gorgeous!!!!

    Will your MIL live with you all ---or have her own place? Glad you got her moved.
    Hugs,
    Betsy

  9. Welcome home!

    Your grandchildren are all so sweet, Kimberely.

  12. Your g'children are so adorable! I like to take a few day trips and occasionally a longer one, but I'm basically a homebody and love to be in my own home! I hope your son gets back home soon. My hubby can relate to those long hours!
    Enjoy your week!

  14. Hi Kimberly,

    What a busy weekend you had! Your grands are so cute...
    Well it is probably a very good thing you got home before the snow starts to fly!
    Have a great week!
    All the Best,
    Christine

  15. Welcome home, Kimberly. You have some adorable grandchildren there. It sounds like a fun time for all of you. I know just how you feel about being home again.
    No doubt your son will be very happy when he can come home once again. I'm sure the people in CT are very glad to have him there to warm up their homes.

  16. I am the exact same way. Home is my very favorite place to be! :o)
    You have a beautiful family. :o)

  17. Looks like you had a good trip! Cute little ones!

  18. What beautiful grands! Each and every one. And there's nothing so much fun as having breakfast out with them.

    Please tell your son "thank you." I can't imagine the hours of work in restoring power. It means that our little project was set back so that others in neighboring states could have the help they so very much need. I can't imagine being without power for sooooo long!

    I'm a homebody, too, so I get it completely and to have that sweet home welcoming me would make me grin all day long. Hope that your mother-in-law feels right at home in no time as well in her new digs.

  24. It's always good to get home from away isn't it? Your little grandchildren are adorable. I can't believe there are still people without power in the northeast US. That is very shocking! Have a great week! Blessings, Pamela

  28. Hi Kimberly,
    Those darling faces would make anyone want to drive for miles just to see them! glad you got to spend a day with them. All of my grandchildren are close. I can imagine how hard it would to have them living away. I love traveling, but boy do I love to get home to my home and gardens. Love your home, especially the red door. Can't wait to see you in your apron!
