We're in home sweet Indiana! We've only been here about a week and a half, but already the hot, dusty, desert is a fuzzy memory (at least until we have to go back!) Even though almost the entire state is suffering through a drought, the landscape is STILL a beautiful shade of green to me and even the humidity hasn't been too much of a bother (yet). MJ, Oskar, and I have just been having way too much fun.
In the short time we've been home, MJ has already made a new best friend (uh-oh . . . watch out, Oskar!) . . .
. . . gotten seriously spoiled by Aunt Angie . . .
. . . "driven" a "tractor" . . .
. . . bonded with Great-Grandma Babb . . .
. . . tried (and failed) to climb a tree . . .
. . . watched our own private air-show from a crop duster repeatedly buzzing our house to spray the field across the road . . .
. . . "disappeared" in the grass with his new camo bibs and onesie from Daddy . . .
. . . discovered a duck call . . .
. . . swam in the new baby pool that Mamaw and Papaw bought just for him (can we say spoiled rotten?!) . . .
. . . white-trashed it up in the 100 degree heat with just a hat, shoes, and a diaper . . .
. . . tasted dirt . . .
. . . hung out on the porch and watched the rain . . .
. . . taken a ride around the country in the mule with Papaw . . .
. . . and "helped" Mamaw clean the house.
As for me, I've really enjoyed watching MJ experience the things that were natural to me growing up and giving him a taste of the world OUTSIDE Las Vegas and the big city. And when he's in bed, tuckered out from all his new adventures, I get to enjoy the beautiful Indiana sunsets with a glass of wine and not another car or person in sight.
It's good to be home. :)
