I was a little intimidated about spending two weeks home over the break. Now that it’s over, I realize how much I’ve appreciated time at home, with less planning, less lunch packing, and less structure. The holidays both fell in the middle of the week so it felt a little bit like getting extra weekends, but also a bit disruptive. I’m grateful for the time and also now ready for a return to routines. It’s hard to believe that the next time there’s a break like this, we will have three kids!
