While Mama Is Away

One of the greatest benefits of technology is that I can receive these little gifts from home while I'm away.

I'll be boarding the first of a few flights home in just a couple hours. I'm looking forward to getting back into the routine of home and family (with lots of hugs + kisses + love) and am especially looking forward to getting some pumpkins.

    I can't believe how big Simon and Anna are getting, beautiful children. Have a safe journey home and I look forward to seeing how you document your trip.

    I enjoyed our time in Mykonos!
    I love the lego setup Simon has made. They must all be looking forward for you to come home. Have a safe trip home - and enjoy all the kisses and hugs you will get from the kids (I know I did....)

    Beautiful photos! My hubby is away at the moment so he has been receiving similar 'snippets from home' photos! They are crying out to be made in to a LO!

    Safe travels! I know that "coming home" feeling. Loving + snuggling + nesting. It's the best.

    it's funny... when you first went to Greece I was so excited for you and for the last few days, after reading your tweets, I was hoping you'd get to go home soon!! Seemed like a long time to be away - I bet you'll be happy to get all the hugs, kisses and love - and the pumpkins will be cool too!

    LOVE these (especially, the Lego line-up...have seen that a bit around these parts, too). Have a great trip home (it's supposed to be AWESOME weather in the next week or so, too)!

    Too cute! I have to ask about the lego table! Are those plates attached to the table? My boys are obsessed with legos right now and I'm trying to come up with a table they can play on without losing the pieces all over the floor. Thanks!

    My son is a huge lego fan and I just love the set up you have for Simon. Are the grey squares permanent? Could you share how you store/sort his legos? I'm struggling with keeping control over the lego clutter!

    Great pictures! I have a question about the Lego setup. Did you attach the large square lego platforms to the shelves? If yes, how? Like many others we struggle with the lego storage issue. Have a safe trip back!

    Hi ali.
    Your kids are just the cutest! :)
    It was so nice meeting you in Greece. I really enjoyed your class, hanging out, explore, "hunt and gather" :).
    hope we meet again one day.
