1) One pacifier is not enough for an 8 hour drive/ several day trip especially if you can't find the Pooh pacifier keeper- I think that was my most often asked question in FL: where's T's pacifier?
(K found his other one today)
2) Put a nametag on your stroller when you have to use stroller parking in case you have to chase your stolen stroller across the park.
3) It sure is nice to have some days where the adult:kid ratio is even.
4) I sure do miss afternoon naps when we're away but missing them makes bedtime easier (that's the glass half full side- the half empty is sometimes grumpy kids!)
5) Before you pack to drive 12 hours south, you should really check the weather (so you don't pack turtleneck sweaters, jackets, and one shirt & pair of shorts for 80 degree weather)
6) The warm weather is really nice- pretty fun to go swimming outside Christmas Day.
7) Cell phones don't work well if you jump in the pool with them. (The good news is you can cancel Sprint with deployment orders.)
8) Packing some toys & books in the boys' backpacks works just as well as a Happy Meal to keep boys busy on the road (and we save money instead of buying greasy food!)
9) We sure miss have James with us for Christmas.
10) We definitely miss him as we're trying to assemble toys (K said today "Mommy, boys are better at putting things together than girls."
11) It is nice to come home to a clean(ish) house even if it only lasts until we start unpacking.
12) it was possible to leave the refrigerator even emptier than Thanksgiving.

That was great! I agree with Keegan - boys do put things together better than girls! The adult to kid ratio thing is too true! And I am still at a higher ratio than you these days!
Glad you are home & we are praying for you!
